.NET application stripping query string parameters from Request in Default.aspx.cs

I am having a hard time figuring out why the request part of my URL is not showing up correctly in the Page_Load method of Default.aspx.cs in my application.

If my URL is something like this:

http://localhost:3161/SignOn?ReturnUrl=%2fReturnMeHere

When I debug, I'd expect there to be query string parameters in my Request object:

public void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    string originalPath = Request.Path;
}

However, none show up. I'm guessing these are being stripped out somewhere but I'm not sure what else would be doing this in the pipeline.

*Edit, a screenshot from a local URL debugging "http://localhost:3161/SignOn?ReturnUrl=/ThisIsDisappearing" enter image description here

The path to a page will always be www.url.co.uk.

The raw path will be the full path without any formatting or stripping.

Query strings are extensions to the path, not part of the path so therefore they wont be included.

As stated above, refering the the raw URL not the path of the page will bring back the full string.

Request.Params["ReturnUrl"] should return the value of ReturnUrl parameter

Request.Path strips off the parameters Request.RawUrl shows the whole URL, Request.Query is just the query string.

Look at Request.QueryString that is where query string parameters are stored.

Request.Path would only give you "http://localhost:3161/SignOn" as far as I can remember.
