Is it old-fashioned use query string for id?
asp.net, query-string
Solution
Nothing wrong with query string parameters. Simple to create and understand. A lot of sites are using fancy urls like 'www.somesite.com/Shop/Product/white_sox_t_shirt` which is cool and sort-of user friendly, but more work for us poor developers.
Problem
I am curious if is out-of-date to use query string for id. We have webapp running on Net 2.0. When we display detail of something (can be product) we use query string like this : http://www.somesite.com/Shop/Product/Detail.aspx?ProductId=100 We use query string for reason that user can save the link somewhere and come back any time later. I suppose that we use url rewriting soon or later but in mean time I would like to know your opinion. Thanks.Cheers, X.
