i need to create a custom query option and to be honest i have no idea where to start from. i don't know how they are created or what class handles them. On my project i have used markdown but i also need to enable ( in which case the text marked will be markdown ) or disable ( in this case i will have plain text ).
at this point my solution was to send a parameter to a function and tell it when to enable / disable
EX:
.../.../Namespace.MyFunction(markdown=1)
but i'm looking for a way to obtain this
.../.../...?$markdown=true
something like count query option.
Thank you
The dollar sign prefix should only be used with system query options. Think of $ as a reserved namespace. You can certainly use your own application-specific query options; just don't prefix them with $.
To get the value of markdown from a request URI like http://host/path?markdown=true from within a controller method, use the GetQueryNameValuePairs extension method. See also How to access all querystring parameters as a dictionary.
