ViewStateException::Referer Property

Gets the URL of the page that linked to the page where the view-state exception occurred.

Namespace:  System.Web.UI
Assembly:  System.Web (in System.Web.dll)

public:
property String^ Referer {
	String^ get ();
}

Property Value

Type: System::String
A String containing the HTTP referrer.

This property returns the same value as the HTTP_REFERER variable in the ServerVariables property. The value is an empty string ("") if no previous request linked to the page.

The following code example demonstrates how to implement a method that deserializes a base64-encoded string and returns an ICollection collection of property settings. The Deserialize method can throw an HttpException exception that contains a ViewStateException object as an inner exception. The example shows how you can catch an HttpException exception and retrieve the properties from the ViewStateException object.
