Collecting GET variable in Global.ascx?

[mlynch3261]

Greetings All, I want to collect a quesrystring parameter (HTTP GET variable) in the global.ascx file (either in application start or session start) Is this possible? I.E. in GLOBAL.ascx under the APPLICATION_START event, put a piece of code that collects the parameter using
request.params("paramtername")?

Ok I figured it out... moved my request from Application_Start, to Application_BeginRequest and it handled it. Was just a matter of me realizing when these events fire!!

I'm interested in knowing what code you used. Can you paste it here?

Here ya go, bascially Im populating a hashtable to hold the settings for a site based on the querysting in the url. This is done to spawn multiple sites from a single backend SQL database where layout values are held.

Protected Sub Application_BeginRequest(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
 
'Gets the querystring value and holds it in a public shared variable
VB.CorpID = Request.Params("CorpID")
 
'if the variable isn't zero then do something
            If VB.CorpID <> 0 Then
 
                VB.SiteTable = VB.LoadConfig(VB.CorpID)
 
                End If
            Else
                'TODO: Insert Redirection to Error Page Here
                Throw New HttpException(404, "not found")
            End If
