Property Value

A NameValueCollection containing the collection of query string variables sent by the client.

The following code example accepts the query string from a client form (with a GET method attribute) and writes out the names and values of each named input element on the form. Place this code on the ASP.NET page referenced by the form's ACTION attribute.

Visual Basic
Dim loop1, loop2 As Integer
 Dim arr1(), arr2() As String
 Dim coll As NameValueCollection
 
' Load Form variables into NameValueCollection variable.
coll=Request.QueryString 
' Get names of all keys into a string array.
arr1 = coll.AllKeys 
For loop1 = 0 To arr1.GetUpperBound(0)
   Response.Write("Key: " & Server.HtmlEncode(arr1(loop1)) & "<br>")
   ' Get all values under this key.
   arr2 = coll.GetValues(loop1)  
    For loop2 = 0 To arr2.GetUpperBound(0)
       Response.Write("Value " & CStr(loop2) & ": " & Server.HtmlEncode(arr2(loop2)) & "<br><br>")
    Next loop2
 Next loop1
   
C#
int loop1, loop2;
 
// Load NameValueCollection object.
NameValueCollection coll=Request.QueryString; 
// Get names of all keys into a string array.
String[] arr1 = coll.AllKeys; 
for (loop1 = 0; loop1 < arr1.Length; loop1++) 
{
   Response.Write("Key: " + Server.HtmlEncode(arr1[loop1]) + "<br>");
   String[] arr2 = coll.GetValues(arr1[loop1]);
   for (loop2 = 0; loop2 < arr2.Length; loop2++) 
   {
      Response.Write("Value " + loop2 + ": " + Server.HtmlEncode(arr2[loop2]) + "<br>");
   }
}
   
J#
int loop1, loop2;

// Load NameValueCollection object.
NameValueCollection coll = get_Request().get_QueryString();
// Get names of all keys into a string array.
String arr1[] = coll.get_AllKeys();
for (loop1 = 0; loop1 < arr1.length; loop1++) {
    get_Response().Write(("Key: " + 
        get_Server().HtmlEncode(arr1[loop1]) + "<br>"));
    String arr2[] = coll.GetValues(arr1[loop1]);
    for (loop2 = 0; loop2 < arr2.length; loop2++) {
        get_Response().Write(("Value " + loop2 + ": "
            + get_Server().HtmlEncode(arr2[loop2]) + "<br>"));
    }
}
JScript
var arr1, arr2 : String[]
var coll : NameValueCollection

coll=Request.QueryString // Load Form variables into NameValueCollection variable.
arr1 = coll.AllKeys // Get names of all keys into a string array.
for(var i=0; i < arr1.Length; i++){
  Response.Write("Key: " + Server.HtmlEncode(arr1[i]) + "<br>")
  arr2 = coll.GetValues(i)  // Get all values under this key.
  for(var j=0; j < arr2.Length; j++){
      Response.Write("Value " + j + ": " + Server.HtmlEncode(arr2[j]) + "<br><br>")
  }
}
