HttpMethod and PostBack Testing
-
Just a quick question. Is this test logical or possible in ASP.NET? If so, under what scenario(s) would you expect to see such a positive result of the test. Thanks
if (Request.HttpMethod == "POST" && !IsPostBack)
{...}Just because we can; does not mean we should.

I ain't no web-programmer, but sounds like homework, and I know where the documentation is, so shouldn't be too hard to come up with something. Let's try. HttpRequest.HttpMethod[^]
Gets the HTTP data transfer method (such as GET, POST, or HEAD) used by the client.
Docs also state it's a
String, so the first part of the evaluation looks correct. The English implies that the Request was aPOSTaction on the server.IsPostBacklooks like a property, not a method. Guess it must be part of the Page[^].Gets a value that indicates whether the page is being rendered for the first time or is being loaded in response to a postback.
Ah, interesting. So, the block would be executed if:
- It's being POST-ed
- It's not a postback (meaning, the page is being rendered the first time)
The action is determined in the
Form;<form name="input" action="html_form_action.asp" method="post">
..and that is why I kinda like MSDN. Hope this helps a bit :)

Thanks for the reply, not quite the answer I was hoping for, but thanks anyway. p.s. its not "homework" in the traditional sense but rather me attempting to expand my knowledge on my own time.

Good to hear that there are still people learning voluntarily :thumbsup:

'twas a bit rude, but it seemed like a good idea to explain how I reached the conclusion on what the code "theoretically" would do. If you have suggestions on how my answers would be improved, by all means, hit me :-D
