Parse through POST

Question

I use Stream reader to read context.Request.InputStream to the end and end up with a string looking like

"Gamestart=true&GamePlayer=8&CurrentDay=Monday&..."

What would be the most efficent/"clean" way to parse that in a C# console?

Answer 1

You can use HttpUtility.ParseQueryString

Little sample:

string queryString = "Gamestart=true&GamePlayer=8&CurrentDay=Monday"; //Hardcoded just for example
NameValueCollection qscoll = HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(querystring);

foreach (String k in qscoll.AllKeys)
{
    //Prints result in output window.
    System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(k + " = " + qscoll[k]);
}

Answer 2

HttpUtility.ParseQueryString

Parses a query string into a NameValueCollection using UTF8 encoding.
