Most optimal way to parse querystring within a string in C#

Question

I have a querystring alike value set in a plain string. I started to split string to get value out but I started to wonder that I can proabably write this in one line instea

Answer 1

RichardOD is on it with HttpUtility.ParseQueryString but don't forget to look at TryParse.

You can TryParse int, DateTimes etc

How do you test your Request.QueryString[] variables?

Answer 2

You can do it this way:

using System.Collections.Specialized;

NameValueCollection query = HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(queryString);
Response.Write(query["id"]);

Hope it helps.

Answer 3

Look at HttpUtility.ParseQueryString. Don't reinvent the wheel.
