Get List item viewID from popup window

Question

I am using sharepoint 2010 List in which I am able to get the viewID of the list and while viewing an item it opens a poup window from the sharepoint list I need to get the viewID of that item can anyone give an solution to get the viewID of an item?

Answer 1

An Item doesn't have a View ID - only a list.

Why do you need the ViewID in the pop up window?

Answer 2

I'm not sure you've asked the right question. However, on the assumption that you really want the viewID, the following approach might work, so long as the viewID is in the url of the page that calls the dialog.

Use the HttpRequest.UrlReferrer property if you need the data server-side (or document.referrer if you need it client-side). This gets information about the URL of the client's previous request that linked to the current URL and should be parseable to pull out the viewID.
