Check query string (or maybe not a query string) to see if value equals

I have the following URL:

http://testexample.htm#tab=matchup&schoolid=74c1621c-e0cf-4821-b5e1-3c8170c8125a

In my code, I want to check to see if "tab" equals "matchup" in the URL

if (Request.QueryString["tab"] == "matchup")
{
    VideoPlayerUserControl.Settings.AutoStart = On;
}

This code doesn't seem to work.. is that because "tab" has a preceding hash (#)?

That's not a query string. Query string is what goes after `?`. What you are referring to is not sent to the server, it's a client-side value – Camilo Terevinto Oct 17 '17 at 23:23
Correct. Values after the hash are not sent to the server. Those are used client-side only. – David Oct 17 '17 at 23:23
ok thanks. So I probaly need javascript for this then – cpcdev Oct 17 '17 at 23:25
