Get url parameters from a string in .NET

Question

I\'ve got a string in .NET which is actually a url. I want an easy way to get the value from a particular parameter.

Normally, I\'d just use Request.Params[

Answer 1

Use static ParseQueryString method of System.Web.HttpUtility class that returns NameValueCollection.

Uri myUri = new Uri("http://www.example.com?param1=good¶m2=bad");
string param1 = HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(myUri.Query).Get("param1");
