Delete Request.QueryString variable 1

[kurie]

Hi all
How do i delete/remove a Querystring variable.
say Request.QueryString["ID"]);
i have tried this Request.QueryString["ID"].Remove(0) but it didnt remove it nor did it give an error message.
I also tried Request.QueryString.Clear(); and the error was the variable is readonly.

what are you trying to do? I ask because what you are trying to do doesn't make sense. QueryStrings are part of the request from the client. The request should not be modified by the server, it should only be interpreted to form a Response. The Response is sent to the client.

Email is a good analogy. You wouldn't delete part of email (Request) before reading it. When you respond to the email(Request) you don't modify the original. You form a new email (Response) and send that back.

I've seen stuff like this in javascript.

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
//this is a workaround to remove everything from the querystring
document.forms[0].action = "yourpage.aspx";
</script>

You can still retrieve the querystring in your code.

this works because the request has not be created yet. on the form is submitted the request will be constructed without any querystrings.
