Answer 1

A query string starts with a question mark ? not a hash #.

Try:

http://test.com/test.aspx?id=test 

Using a hash, you're asking to jump to a named anchor within the document, not providing a query string

Answer 2

I agree with everyone that the # should be a ?, but just FYI:

Note it isn't actually possible get the anchor off the URL, for example:

http://test.com/test.aspx#id=test

The problem is that # specified an anchor in the page, so the browser sees:

http://test.com/test.aspx

And then looks in the page for

<a id="test">Your anchor</a>

As this is client side you need to escape the # from the URL - you can't get it on the server because the browser's already stripped it off.

If you want the part after the # you have to copy it using Javascript before the request is sent to the server, and put the value in the querystring.
