Question on request.servervariables

[fmrock]

I am very new to asp.net but have done asp and vb for a while. I am having to edit an existing .net app and want to add some logging. I added this into the .vb page and creates the file and does the logging.

What would be the best way to get the server variables Referrer and Querystring. I am really needed to log the query string.

I am looking around google and have not found anything yet.

Also, would this be the most efficient way to create the txt file and write to it?

            'Open a file for writing
            Dim Test_log_FILENAME As String = Server.MapPath("login_Log_" & DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyyMMdd") & ".txt")

            'Get a StreamReader class that can be used to read the file
            Dim objStreamWriter As StreamWriter
            objStreamWriter = File.AppendText(Apollo_log_FILENAME)

            Dim varQueryString As String
            Dim varIPAddress As String
            Dim varReferrer As String

            varQueryString = ""
            varIPAddress = Request.UserHostAddress
            varReferrer = ""

            objStreamWriter.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToString() & ":  " & "-------------------")
            objStreamWriter.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToString() & ":  " & "Query String: " & varQueryString)
            objStreamWriter.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToString() & ":  " & "IP Address: " & varIPAddress)
            objStreamWriter.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToString() & ":  " & "Referrer: " & varReferrer)
            objStreamWriter.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToString() & ":  " & "-------------------")

            'Close the stream
            objStreamWriter.Close()

The Request.Url object holds both of these values.
