Source of request in asp.net/C#

Basically, I need to know the answer to this question in asp.net/C#:
source of REQUEST
I would like one of my pages to know which page directed the user to this specific page. I've tried going through intellisense on a few different Page properties, but couldn't find it. Any help?

We can get to know the referral Url from UrlReferrer property. It's easy to handle in the global.asax file.

protected void Session_Start()
{
    var SourceURL = HttpContext.Current.Request.UrlReferrer.AbsoluteUri.ToString();
}

Now we can store this value in session or somewhere and do what ever operation we would like.

I think you want Request.ServerVariables["HTTP_REFERER"];

You're looking for the Request.UrlReferrer property.

You can look at Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER") or Request.ServerVariables("URL").

Or you can use the Request object this way:

Request.Url.ToString() gives you the full path of the calling page.

If you call this in the Immediate Window without the ToString, you can see lots of information:

Request.UrlReferrer.ToString()

Sounds like your looking for Request.UrlReferrer

Documentation: HttpRequest.UrlReferrer

The request can be attained off the page:

Page.Request

If a Page instance is not available, you can get it from the current context using:

HttpContext.Current.Request
