Extract part of querystring using visual basic

Question

I have a querystring:

...default.aspx?date=May%202012

I want to get may and 2012 separately from that using:

Request.querystring("date")

....something similar for each.

Is this possible?

You can use HttpUtility.UrlDecode:

Dim dateParam = HttpUtility.UrlDecode(Request.QueryString("date"))
Dim dateParts = dateParam.Split(" "c)
Dim month = dateParts(0)
Dim year = dateParts(1)

C#

var dateParam = HttpUtility.UrlDecode(Request.QueryString["date"]);
var dateParts = dateParam.Split(' ');
var month = dateParts[0];
var year = dateParts[1];

Edit: As @Servy has commented HttpUtility.UrlDecode is redundant above since Request.QueryString decodes it implicitely, but it doesn't hurt ;-)

@Servy from question: I want to get may and 2012 separately

Request.QueryString already does a UrlDecode, it shouldn't be decoded again.

@Servy it is not related with url encoding/decoding. date parameter contains May 2012 (in decoded form). So you have to split it to get the May and 2012 separately.

@Servy: Edited my answer. I assume that OP just didn't know how to split both parts.

I got the above example to work with HttpUtility.UrlDecode, but am curious as to how I would split the querystring without it?
