.net to parse url and get script value

Can anyone suggest a way of doing the following.

Within my navigation I have - widget1 (which links to widget1.aspx) widget2 (which links to widget2.aspx) widget3 (which links to widget3.aspx).

If a user clicks the link 'widget2' and arrives at the widget2.aspx, I'm trying to get the script that will look at the URL string, stripout the last part i.e. widget2.aspx as a variable so that I can then say, if variable = widget2.aspx the display the link text but do not link it, otherwise, link it.

Thanks

 

Is this something similar to what you're wanting to do? I have a site with the navigation bar set up as a user control. Whatever the current page is, I just list it, without it being a link. Are you looking for something along those lines?

 

Considering u r using asp .Net in C#:
on aspx:
---------
<asp:Label id="lbl" runat="server"/>

on C#:
-------
if(Request.Url.ToLower().IndexOf("widget2.aspx")>=0)
lbl.Text="<a href=widget2.aspx>Widget2</a>";
else
lbl.Text="Widget2";

 

Thanks Guys

Webcosmo - that does the trick. Thats

 

A neat trick with ASP.NET is you can declare your referer as a URI variable type, then it auto-parses out the parts for you ... you can even URI. Parse or TryParse to cast it to a URI I believe...
