Hi all.

This a a very noobie question, but I do mostly winforms development. I need to create a web page that I can send a link to from my winofrms app. I do not want to put something like this:

?pk=1010&user_id=akinsm

in the URL for obvious reasons. My first impulse when I see things like this is to put in different values and see what I can see Smile

So, I am creating my web page using StrataFrame and I just need to know the best way to pass the parameters when I send the link from my winforms app.

TIA

Marcia

You can do it several ways.  You can use a POST operation instead of a GET.  GET operations expose the query string like you mentioned and is more limited in the length.  If you want to use a GET operation, you can encrypt it using the StrataFrame 3DES class or even create a Base64 output.


Hi Trent.

Thanks for the speedy response. When I say that I am a noobie at webforms, i mean that I am REALLY a noobie Smile.

Since my winforms app is going to e-mail a link to a single web page on which the e-mail recipient has only to input a couple of fields, I think that the quickest solution may be to encrypt the QueryString.

I will search the StrataFrame docs to see how to use the 3DES class to do this and if I get stuck I will come back here crying for more help.

Hi Marcia, here is a quick sample on how to use the SF encryption class: http://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost19605.aspx

Thanks for the link, Edhy. I will look at it as soon as I get this page laid out and functioning.
