How can I get the URL of the current page from within a C# App_Code class?

Question

I have a logging class that, well, logs things. I would like to add the ability to automatically have the current page be logged with the messages.

Is there a way to get the information I'm looking for?

Thanks,

Answer 1

From your class you can use the HttpContext.Current property (in System.Web.dll). From there, you can create a chain of properties:

• Request
• Url and RawUrl

The underlying object is a Page object, so if you cast it to that, then use any object you would normally use from within a Page object, such as the Request property.

Answer 2

It's brittle and hard to test but you can use System.Web.HttpContext.Current which will give you a Request property which in turn has the RawUrl property.

Answer 3

public static class MyClass
{
    public static string GetURL()
    {
        HttpRequest request = HttpContext.Current.Request;
        string url = request.Url.ToString();
        return url;
    }
}

I tried to break it down a little :)
