The example you provided uses QueryString to pass value. The stuff after the ? symbol in the URL is the query string where ref is the key and username is the value.

You would simply use the Request object to get the value from the QueryString. For example: Request.QueryString["key"]

A quick example based on your need would be:

C#

if(Request.QueryString["ref"] != null)
{
     //redirect to the sign-up page here
     //for ASP.NET WebForms you can do:

     Response.Redirect("~/Signup.aspx");

}
