[Sorry about a messy question. I believe I am targeting .Net 2.0 (for now)]
Hi, I am an ASP.NET noob. For starters I am building a page that parses a URL string and populates a table in a database. I want that string
to be strictly of the form:
http://<server>:<port>/PageName.aspx?A=1&B=2&C=3&D=4&E=5
The order of the arguments do not matter, I just do not want any of them missing, or any extras. Here is what I tried (yes, it is ugly; I just want
to get it
to work first):
#if (DEBUG)
// Maps parameter names
to their human readable names.
// Used for error checking.
private static Dictionary<string, string> paramNameToDisplayName = new Dictionary<string, string> {
{ A, "a"},
{ B, "b"},
{ C, "c"},
{ D, "d"},
{ E, "e"},
{ F, "f"},
};
[Conditional("DEBUG")]
private void validateRequestParameters(HttpRequest request)
{
bool endResponse = false;
// Use foreach var
foreach (string expectedParameterName in paramNameToDisplayName.Keys)
{
if (request[expectedParameterName] == null)
{
Response.Write(String.Format("No parameter \"{0}\", aka {1} was passed
to the configuration generator. Check your URL string / cookie.",
expectedParameterName, paramNameToDisplayName[expectedParameterName]));
endResponse = true;
}
}
// Use foreach var
foreach (string actualParameterName in request.Params)
{
if (!paramNameToDisplayName.ContainsKey(actualParameterName))
{
Response.Write(String.Format("The parameter \"{0}\", was passed
to the configuration generator, but it was not expected. Check your URL string / cookie.",
actualParameterName));
endResponse = true;
}
}
if (endResponse)
{
Response.End();
}
}
#endif
and it works ok, except that it complains about all sorts of other stuff:

Is there some way for me
to separate the implicit and the explicit parameters, or is it not doable? Should I even bother? Perhaps the philosophy of get is
to just throw away that what is not needed.
Thanks!
