PHP $_GET['something'] equivalent in C#

Question

I am new at C#, but i work in PHP, i need help for some equivalent PHP code to C# here is my code

if(isset($_GET['something'] == 'today')) {

    $test = $_GET['something'];
} else {
    $test = '';
}

How is possible to write that in C#?

We do not work in php and we do not know what is this. You must ask what you want in C# rather than giving your php code. — Rohit Arora

Since you have PHP in your mind but try to work in ASP.NET MVC which has different concepts, you should really have some basic lessons at asp.net/mvc — thmshd

@Rohit But there are some developers that work in both Php and C# like myself. I guess he didn't just ask the right way. — Oluwafemi

Request.QueryString is equivalent to PHP's $_GET in C#. The QueryString collection retrieves the values of the variables in the HTTP query string.

string test = Request.QueryString["something"];
        if (test == "today")
        {
            // we've got test logic
        }
        else
        {
           test = string.Empty;
        }

$_GET in php is just server side variable.

In ASP.NET MVC you have 3 rigth places where you can store and get this variables:

ViewData - Dictiorary

ViewData.Model - Strongly Typed and the most right way

ViewBag - Dynamic type storrage.

Also, you can get this params from HttpContext.Request.QueryString like this:

HttpContext.Request.QueryString["something"]

But you should never do it in ASP.NET MVC.

ASP.NET MVC just doesn't work like this, if you have to write such a if-clause in ASP.NET MVC you don't understand it.

Basically, you would have some "action" like public ActionResult Index(string something == "today") { ... } where you can easily check the variable etc. it will be automatically fetched from your "routes" and http request context.

There are many good learning resources at http://www.asp.net/mvc like free Learning Videos from Pluralsight.

Mate PHP also can be MVC, it is also Controller Action, but for my app i dont need that, i dont know why you are trying to explain me what is controller action, I didnt asked that :(

thmshd Over a year ago

@play2web because it's the way ASP.NET MVC is designed, as I show you in the Example, the Variable is automatically resolved from the "Request.QueryString" when using something as simple as a Controller Action. And if you don't have Controller Actions, you obviously don't do ASP:NET MVC, but at time of my responsed, you had that as a Tag in your question
