How to check that Request.QueryString has a specific value or not in ASP.NET?
I have an error.aspx
page. If a user comes to that page then it will fetch the error path in page_load()
method URL using Request.QueryString["aspxerrorpath"]
and it works fine.
But if a user directly accesses that page the it will generate an exception because aspxerrorpath
is not there.
How can I check that aspxerrorpath
is there or not?
You can just check for null
:
if(Request.QueryString["aspxerrorpath"]!=null)
{
//your code that depends on aspxerrorpath here
}
Check for the value of the parameter:
// .NET < 4.0
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(Request.QueryString["aspxerrorpath"]))
{
// not there!
}
// .NET >= 4.0
if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(Request.QueryString["aspxerrorpath"]))
{
// not there!
}
If it does not exist, the value will be null
, if it does exist, but has no value set it will be an empty string.
I believe the above will suit your needs better than just a test for null
, as an empty string is just as bad for your specific situation.
