URL question.

[hawkesed]

I have an application written in ASP.net (not 2.0). Here is the issue I
am having:
I have a web application with a url. We want to add a couple of
parameters to the url so that a specific client and item is opened when
these parameters are present.
For example here is what we have now:
www.myapp.org and this opens up the login page.
We want to have something like:
www.myapp.org/client1%item1 (or some other delimiter other than '%')
>From within the application, how do I access the URL itself? If I have
it as a string then I want to parse it and use the information in it.
Does .NET have some classes/methods to do this?
Thanks for any help at all and have a good day.

One other thing is that the application has a login.aspx page that the
users get redirected to. I want to be able to authenticate, bypass the
login.aspx page then pull up the specific item based on info sent in
from the url string.

The authentication is a major issue in itself - you should google
"asp.net forms authentication" to find quite a bit of reading material
for that.

Regarding the query string: the format of the URL is:

http://www.mysite.com/default.aspx?var1=value1&var2=value2

To access these values, you use the Request.QueryString object - for
example:
Request.QueryString["var1"] gives you the string "value1"

Much obliged Joe. These are excelent starting points. Have a good one!

http://www.myapp.org/items.aspx?client=client_value&item=item_value

You can access those variables using Request.QueryString["client"] and
Request.QueryString["item"].
