[RESOLVED] URLReferrer and Object not set problem

[Krenshau]

Hello,

I am creating a message page that displays a message, then returns the user to the referrer, but I am having a problem.

The error I get is that an object reference is not set. Is there a problem getting the referrer in the page load event?

Here is my code.

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
 
        Me.lblMessage.Text = Page.Request.QueryString("Message").ToString
 
        Dim GotoURL As String
 
        If Not Page.Request.UrlReferrer Is Nothing Then
            GotoURL = Page.Request.UrlReferrer.AbsoluteUri
        Else
            GotoURL = Page.Request.UrlReferrer.ToString <---- Error on this line
        End If
 
        Page.Response.AppendHeader("Refresh", "5; url=" & GotoURL)
 
    End Sub

I understand the error(I think), but I am not sure how that applies in this situation, or how to fix it. I should also mention that I am passing a variable thru the querystring to this page. Would that affect it?

BTW, I found this code on this site while I was searching for a solution. I originally just had the Page.Response.UrlReferrer.ToString.
