Converting/accessing QueryString values in ASP.NET

Question

I\'m curious what everyone does for handling/abstracting the QueryString in ASP.NET. In some of our web apps I see a lot of this all over the site:

int val = 0;         


        

Answer 1

Write some sort of a helper method (library) to handle it...

public static void GetInt(this NameValueCollection nvCol, string key, out int keyValue, int defaultValue)
{
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(nvCol[key]) || !int.TryParse(nvCol[key], out keyValue))
        keyValue = defaultValue;
}

Or something along those lines...
