Answer 1

They are available in Request.QueryString. This is a collection of string key/value pairs, that can also be accessed by ordinal index.

Answer 2

To complete the answer given above with an example:

int id = int.Parse(Request.QueryString["id"]);

Answer 3

OK using your sample URL:

string id = Request.QueryString["id"];

string nam = Request.QueryString["nam"];

Read about Request.QueryString on MSDN. You probably want to convert the id value to an int.

Answer 4

For security reasons, be careful with XSS attacks. Please use this library:

Ex:

String Name = AntiXss.HtmlEncode(Request.QueryString["Name"]);
