Remarks: ASP Request Object Form Collection

The Form collection is indexed by the names of the parameters in the request body. The value of Request.Form(parameter) is an array of all values of parameter that occur in the request body. You can determine the number of values of a parameter by calling Request.Form(parameter).Count. If a parameter does not have multiple values associated with it, the count is 1. If the parameter is not bound, the count is 0.

To reference a single value of a form element that has multiple values, you must specify a value for the index. The index parameter may be any number between 1 and Request.Form(parameter).Count. If you reference one of multiple form parameters without specifying a value for index, the data is returned as a comma-delimited string.

When you use parameters with Request.Form, the Web server parses the HTTP request body and returns the specified data. If your application requires unparsed data from the form, you can access it by calling Request.Form without any parameters.
