ASP.NET: Find out where a visitor came from

From Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Summary: Find out where a visitor came from

If you want to track which page or site a user has come from, you can use the referrer information. This is located in the Request.UrlReferrer object e.g.

  1. Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
  2.     Response.Write(Request.UrlReferrer.ToString())
  3. End Sub

Caution: you may find that this is not 100% reliable as users can tell their browser not to send the referrer or they can even alter it so only use this if you are aware of this.
