Can I use Request to Accept query String

[hon123456]

Dear all,

I got a link as follows:

<a href="outdolistdata.asp?user=<%=user%>&outboundno=<
%=stroutboundno%>&inboundno=<%=strinboundno%>&house=<%=strhouse
%>&house1=<%=strhouse1%>&refno=<%=strrefno%>&invoiceno=<%=strinvoiceno
%>&HAWB=<%=strHAWB%>&pono=<%=strpono%>&HAWBno=<%=strHAWBno%>&NAV=<
%=intPageCount%>">Last Page</a>


Can I just use request("user"), request("outboundno"), request
("inboundno") to accept
the query string in the Link. As I found in the web page, only
request.querystring can be used to
accept the querystring in the link. My question is can I just use
request("something") to accept
outdolistdata?something="abc" but not using request.querystring.

Thanks.

You can, but: it will hurt performance slightly and might lead to unexpected
results. Read this:

And in the future you COULD perhaps have a page that can accept a
querystring and/or a post so being explicit using Request.Form() for
posted variables and Request.Querystring() for querystring variables
might actually do yourself a favor (less confusion) sometime in the
future when you look back on a site and try to understand the code...
