Supplying parameters

Question

User-228551200 posted

Is there any way to run an ASPX page in debug mode and supply parameters?  (I mean, a valid way supported by the program, not a hack.)

What parameters are you talking about?

URL parameters

Run the page then add the querystring parameters in the url bar of the browser and go.

For URL parameters, all you would need to do would be to manually pass in values as QueryString parameters through the Navigation bar :

YourPage.aspx?ParameterName=ParameterValue&ParameterTwoName=ParameterTwoValue

which you could access within your page from the QueryString. 

//YourPage.aspx Page Load Event
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
        //Grabs the values from the QueryString
        string parameterOne = Request.QueryString["ParameterName"]; //"ParameterValue"
        string parameterTwo = Request.QueryString["ParameterTwoName"]; //"ParameterTwoValue"
}

Thanks for the suggestions.  There are a million ways I can think of doing this 'manually' - it's a real PITA to paste those in every time I want to test a program.  For this, I'll just make a dummy aspx file that uses a client javascript to launch the program I want to debug (with the right parameters) in another window.  I thought it might be supported directly by the IDE - seems a very basic feature to leave out.
