ASP.NET / VB.NET - What is the equivalent of $_REQUEST of PHP in ASP.NET?

Question

I'm just wondering, is there a way to get the GET parameters and POST parameters in just one function or Collection in ASP.NET? Like using $_REQUEST in PHP? I'm using VB.NET.

Answer 1

Request["VariableName"] (in C#) and Request("VariableName") (in VB) should work.

See HttpRequest.Item indexer :

Name-value pairs are returned in the following order:

1. Query-string parameters.
2. Form fields.
3. Cookies.
4. Server variables.

If the specified key is not found, then null is returned.

Answer 2

Note:

Request["xyz"] gets it from cookies, querystring, form, or server variables

Request.Parameters["xyz"] does the same

Request.QueryString["xyz"] is just the querystring

Request.Form["xyz"] is just the form

Answer 3

Sure is: Request.QueryString for GET, Request.Form for POST. You can specify a name to extract, ie Request.QueryString("id") , to get the "id" from the URL.
