UriBuilder.Query Property

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Property Query As String

public string Query { get; set; }

Remarks

The Query property contains any query information included in the URI. Query information is separated from the path information by a question mark (?) and continues to the end of the URI. The query information returned includes the leading question mark.

The query information is escaped according to RFC 3986.

Note    In Silverlight, the Fragment and Query properties are independent. Setting the Fragment property to any value, including nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), does not clear the Query property. Setting the Fragment property to String.Empty does not clear the Query property.

Note   Do not append a string directly to this property. If the length of Query is greater than 1, retrieve the property value as a string, remove the leading question mark, append the new query string, and set the property with the combined string.

Examples

The following example sets the Query property.

            UriBuilder baseUri = new UriBuilder("https://www.contoso.com/default.aspx?Param1=7890");
            string queryToAppend = "param2=1234";

            if (baseUri.Query != null && baseUri.Query.Length > 1)
                baseUri.Query = baseUri.Query.Substring(1) + "&" + queryToAppend; 
            else
                baseUri.Query = queryToAppend;
