.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / December 2007Name of Previous Page
I have an ASP.Net web page that I want to be able to retrieve the name of the previous page as I am coming to this page from 3 different aspx pages via PostBackURL string. I looked at the PreviousPage but it has no "Name" property that I could find. Can anyone help? Thanks. David Nevermind. I remembered Request.UrlReferrer David >I have an ASP.Net web page that I want to be able to retrieve the name of >the previous page as I am coming to this page from 3 different aspx pages >via PostBackURL string.

Yes. SignatureMark Rae ASP.NET MVP http://www.markrae.net Do not use Request.UrlReferrer Sometimes when referred urls are emails (or simply populated with garbage) Request.UrlReferrer will blow up since it's trying to return URI object. instead use Response.ServerVariables["HTTP_REFERER"]; it will return a string George. > Nevermind.
