I have a asp.net page that has a button to click. When click on it, I wish to have a querystring such as ?id=1 added after the normal url. How can I do that from server side c# code?

if its a submit button then use its name attribute to see if it was clicked. otherwise use clientside javascript to add a hidden input to a form – nathan hayfield May 6 at 18:28

Three ways... server-side redirect, LinkButton, and client-side button or link.

You can have your button event handler redirect to a location with a querystring...

 Response.Redirect("myPage.aspx?id=" + myId.toString(), true);

You can render the button as a LinkButton and set the URL...

 LinkButton myLinkButton = new LinkButton("myPage.aspx?id=" + myId.toString(), true);

Or, you can render the button as a client side link - this is what I do when using Repeater controls...

 <a href='myPage.aspx?id=<%# Eval("myID") %>'>Link</a>

I prefer the last method, particularly when I need a whole bunch of links.

BTW, this is application of KISS - all you need is a regular old link, you don't need to jump through server-side hoops to create a link with a querystring in it. Using regular client-side HTML whenever possible is how to keep ASP.Net simple. I don't see enough of that technique in the wild.

There are various way to add querystring in url. You can use following code If you want to add value on server side:

protected void Button_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   Int32 id = 1;
   // Or your logic to generate id
   string url = String.Format("anypage.aspx?id={0}",id.ToString());

}
