Pack QueryString

[Axel Dahmen]

I've got a (probably) long list of data which I want to send to an ASPX page by query string. To keep the URL short and compact I want to compress the data before I put it into the query string. The target page is supposed to unpack the data again.

I'm thinking about a technique similar to the one ViewState uses, only for query strings.

Is there any class available in the .NET framework compressing and unpacking string data?

TIA,
Axel Dahmen

Axel Hi,

1) You can always send the data via Post. The data will be embedded in
the request and you will be free from the query string limitation.

2) .Net don’t have any compressing and unpacking string utility but A)
LosFormatter is the class that responsible of compressing and unpacking
view state. B) Check out #ZipLib[1]. This is an open source that does
that job. I’m using it without any problems.

Thanks, Natty, I'll check out your sources! Regarding your suggestion to post: I can't use post because I want to provide my parameters in hyperlinks.

Best wishes,
