Is there any conventions should I follow while using QueryStrings in ASP.NET? For eg: which is better one? 1 or 2 ? 1. url?stock_trnasfer_ID=10 2. url?sid=10
A:
I would go with option 2.
Reason:
- Querystrings have limited size (though its quite large nowadays) so better to not waste it with long names

I think there is no such types of criteria.It is fully depends on programmer.If u are passing like this "stock_trnasfer_ID" it is easy for others to understand u r passing an ID to next page.So I prefer to use name which may not similar to the coloumn name

Servers should be cautious about depending on URI lengths above '255 bytes', because some older client or proxy implementations may not properly support these lengths. refer to http://classicasp.aspfaq.com/forms/what-is-the-limit-on-querystring/get/url-parameters.html

A:
Its depends on programmer but if there are many values then you should go for second option
2. url?sid=10
because URl has length limitation and you have to add some other in future then it will be difficult to handle.
but if only one or two then you can go for the 1 option
1. url?stock_trnasfer_ID=10
comprehensive for developer(you) but not informative to users because in this case its more helpful for hackers that you are passing an ID, so should not give idea to users that what you are passing in Querystrings.
