Synopsis

stringvar = Request.PathInfo

Returns a String containing any additional path information (including path information appended to a URL after the filename of the requested resource) passed with the current request.

Parameters

stringvar

A String variable to receive the additional path information.

Example

The example writes both the Path and PathInfo properties to the client browser: 

Sub Page_Load(  )
   Message.Text = "Path = " & Request.Path & "<br/>"
   Message.Text &= "Additional Path Info = " & Request.PathInfo & "<br/>"
