Retrieving Anchor Link In URL for ASP.Net

Question

I have an url like so:

http://localhost/place/663828/bangkok-paradise-restaurant-toronto#r306040

I am trying to see if theres the existence of the anchor tag

Answer 1

It's not possible to retrieve the #anchor from the server side in ASP.NET

This is a client-side flag to tell the browser to move to a specific place within the page.

You can use some Javascript in the body onLoad event to check for an anchor and send it back to the server using ajax.

var anchorValue;
var url = document.location;
var strippedUrl = url.toString().split("#");
if(strippedUrl.Length > 1)
anchorvalue = strippedUrl[1];
