using a querystring

[Bernie V]

Hey group !

I have a page where I have a newssection. Each line is a link.
Is it possible to use a page news.aspx where I work with a querystring to
refer to the page ? example: news.aspx?id=3
On my news.aspx page I have some usercontrols (header.ascx, leftside.ascx,
rightside.ascx, footer.ascx and newsmiddle.ascx).

I want to put the news from the id in the querystring in the newsmiddle.ascx
component.
How can I do that so that the right newsheadline for each id can be used ?

Has somebody tips or examples how to do that ?

thx in advance !

Your header information should also be available to your web controls ie
request.querystring("id").

Just put the routine in the web user control and it should work without a
problem

Thx Jody !
I still have 1 question: how can I use html code to make the layout of that
page at runtime ? (example: to place a picture on the page, but there can't
be always a picture in the newspage) Can I do that in the same routine or is
there another trick to do that ?

Or do I have to do that with literal components like: Literal.Text =
"<h5>Test</h5><br>This is a test";
Without literals I don't know how to position my code.

Am I missing something ?
