Hi,
What we want is a short int that we will put on the bottom of each page so
users can call operators and identify the page in question by this human
readable integer. In the same way as each page in a book has a page number.
We could keep a big xml look up or something like that we could cache but the
maintenance is unacceptable.
I would like to be able to generate this number somehow. I was thinking of
something like the following:
string urlToHash = string.Empty;
for (int i = 0; i < Request.Url.Segments.Length; i++)
{
string candidate = Request.Url.Segments[i].Replace("/",
"").Replace(".aspx", "");
if (candidate.Length == 0)
continue;
urlToHash += candidate;
}
int hashCode = urlToHash.GetHashCode();
The number is still quite big but I might go with this.
Is there anything other than GetHashCode I could use?
Cheers
Paul
