Get Referral URL on page load in VB

Question

How can I get the URL of current page on onPageLoad() event.

Dim URL = Request.UrlReferrer.ToString

I got the URL on button click, but I need to get the result on PageLoad itself.

Can any one suggest me on this case?

Answer 1

Yes, you can use it in Page_Load . But first You have to check if UrlReferrer isn't nothing .

There is example :

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
  Dim URL As String = ""
  If Request.UrlReferrer IsNot Nothing Then
    URL = Request.UrlReferrer.ToString()
  End If
End Sub

Answer 2

I rarely build with VB. I use C#. However, There is no reason that Request.UrlReferrer would not be available in the Page_Load method in VB. It's available in C#.
