How to obtain the current url

How to get the URL of the current page in C#

If I am in a page say http://myweb/folder/obtain.aspx?thevalue=3 , how can i determine if the url contains obtain.aspx?thevalue in c#?. I just need to check whether the user landed on this particular page.

PS: I guess I dont really need to check for the ?thevalue but just the obtain.aspx

@RichardD The answers there do not explain how to get the name of the actual page/file landed on, they just show how to get the Url. Based on title they are the same, but question content makes them different. — Nate, Nov 18 '11 at 16:12

Try this:

//gets the current url
string currentUrl = Request.Url.AbsoluteUri;

//check the url to see if it contains your value
if (currentUrl.ToLower().Contains("obtain.aspx?thevalue"))
    //do something

This will give you the exact file name ( obtain.aspx ) Request.Url.Segments[1]

In my case it's the last segment which is 3. How would I modify the above to get the end of the URL (the last part after /)? – Naomi Apr 12 '18 at 22:34

Request.Url should contain everything you need. In your case, you could use something like

if( Request.Url.PathAndQuery.IndexOf("obtain.aspx") >= 0 )...

I recommend using Request.Url. To get the exact file name, you may try also using System.IO.Path

var aspxFile = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(Request.Url.LocalPath);
var landed = aspxFile.Equals("obtain.aspx", StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase);
if(landed) { // your code }

Request.Url will return the exact Uri being requested by the user.

If you want to check specifically for thevalue, you're probably better off looking for that in Request.QueryString

it's ugly but you cand try

if (HttpContext.Current.HttpRequest.Url.AbsolutePath.Contains("/obtain.aspx"))
 // then do something

Contains will give a true for "2obtain.aspx" aswell... Equals() should be used & System.IO.Path.GetFileName(Request.Url.LocalPath); – Kim Nov 18 '11 at 16:16
