Use

//To get referrer
//in C#
Uri MyUrl = Request.UrlReferrer; 

//in vb
Dim MyUrl As Uri = Request.UrlReferrer 

//To get current
//in C#

Uri currrenturl = Request.Url;
//in vb
Dim currentUrl As Uri = Request.Url

If you are using routing then use

    //c#
    string ref = Request.UrlReferrer.LocalPath;

@KrishanuDey: The "Referrer" header is not always reliable, therefore, the `UrlReferrer` property is not always reliable. – John Saunders May 19 '12 at 01:00
@JohnSaunders : I know. But is there any other way to do this? – Krishanu Dey May 19 '12 at 01:04

@KrishanuDey: yes. Send that information in some reliable way, like in the query string. Add a "originalUrl=url" parameter. – John Saunders May 19 '12 at 01:13
