Last week I found and extremely simple tool in the namespace ‘Sitecore.Text’: UrlString. This class allows me to manipulate URLs in an easy way. Very usefull when you want to extend an URL with a querystring paramater. For example:
UrlString googleUrl = new UrlString(“http://www.google.nl/search?hl=nl”);
googleUrl.Add(“q”, “your search text”);
//Returns http://www.google.nl/search?hl=nl&q=your%20search%20text
Response.Write(googleUrl.GetUrl());
Or even when you want to change the protocol:
UrlString dotSitecoreFeed = new UrlString(“http://sitecore.alexiasoft.nl/feed/”);
dotSitecoreFeed.Protocol = “feed”;
//Returns feed://sitecore.alexiasoft.nl/feed/
Response.Write(dotSitecoreFeed.GetUrl());
Have a nice day!
I’m surprised how often we forget the simple things. I had enterily forgot this method…

I added this to my layout as a test:
But for some reason this does not work 100%, the redirection takes for ever – any advice? Thanks

I added this to my layout as a test:
Sitecore.Text.UrlString str = new Sitecore.Text.UrlString(Request.RawUrl);
