You can write

foreach (string key in Request.Form)

You may also want if (Request.HttpMethod == "POST") or if (Request.Form.Count > 0)

You can use Request.Form, where the Form property is a collection of the form values:

foreach (var key in myCol.AllKeys)
{
     Response.Write(Request.Form[key]);
}

Thanks. Is there any smart way to wrap this in an if-statement? So i only do the check if theres a form submitted. – Johan Oct 12 '11 at 11:57
`if (IsPostback) { ... }` ought to do the trick. – Grant Thomas Oct 12 '11 at 12:00
And how to get the values? Request[item] ? – Johan Oct 12 '11 at 12:01
I have edited to make it clearer re accessing the values themselves. – Grant Thomas Oct 12 '11 at 12:03

Request.Form Is the collection of posted key/value pairs.
