Url Manipulation v2 (C#)

Made some improvements to the previous UrlQuery class (July 22nd, 2004). It now has a shorter way of assigning QueryString parameters:

MyQuery = new UrlQuery();
// add another parameter (or replace existing one)
MyQuery["myparam"] = "myval";
Trace.Write(MyQuery["myparam"]); // returns 'myval'
// remove parameter
MyQuery["myparam"] = null; // or string.Empty
Trace.Write(MyQuery["myparam"]); // returns ''

UrlQuery class code:

public class UrlQuery
{
	/// <summary>
	/// Base on current page
	/// </summary>
	public UrlQuery()
	{
		this.url = HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.AbsolutePath;
	}
	/// <summary>
	/// Base on other page
	/// </summary>
	/// <param name="value">The url of the page to reference, i.e.: '/path/to/folder/page.aspx?param1=1&param2=2'</param>
	public UrlQuery(string value)
	{
		int q = value.IndexOf('?');
		if (q != -1)
		{
			this.url = value.Substring(0, q);
			this.queryString = NameValueCollection(value);
		}
		else
		{
			this.url = value;
		}
	}
	/// <summary>
	/// Get and set Url parameters
	/// </summary>
	public string this[string param]
	{
		get
		{
			return this.Get(param);
		}
		set
		{
			this.Set(param,value);
		}
	}

	private string url;
	/// <summary>
	/// The Url of the page, without QueryString
	/// </summary>
	/// <value>/path/to/folder/page.aspx</value>
	public string Url
	{
		get

	}
	/// <summary>

	/// </summary>

	/// <value>page.aspx?param1=1&param2=2</value>
	public string AbsoluteUri
	{

	private NameValueCollection queryString;

Is there any way to retrieve the url with url rewriting?
Sam said…
Not had much chance to work on this for a while, but it depends on which url rewriting method is used (I use UrlRewriting.net).

Hopefully will get a chance to update this, but can't give any guarantees on when (don't have much free time at the moment).
