Solution 1

It indicates the separation between the website address: "product.aspx" and the parameter that is being passed to it as a query string: "page=products"

For more information, see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Query_string[^]

Wikipedia, are you serious? For these kind of questions I know of only one source: requests for comment also known as RFCs. :)

It explains query strings pretty well, in language that a beginner should be able to cope with.
(Plus it was the top hit when I googled "query string" so it made my life easier! :laugh: )

Well, it is a way to pass some values between two web pages.
In your case, you're passing page=products to product.aspx. Therefore you can get this value on this page using QueryString[^].

Like this : string str= Request.QueryString["page"];

You may find more information regarding passing values and QueryString over here :
Passing variables between pages using QueryString[^]
