This may be a stupid question but...

How do I programmtically access the page's request.querystring value in a
custom user control.

I tried doing this in the page_load routine of the user control but I do not
seem to be able to access the value?

TIA.

Did you try Page.Request.QueryString?

Yes, I fixed the issue. It had to do with how I coded the page_load
subroutine.

A bigger question:

I declare a variable in the main page. I want to pass that variable to the
user control. How do I do this? Is there an example somewhere?

Thanks for you assistance.

Your control should expose a public property that can be set by the page.
I've documented this in more detail here:

Your first example uses a method. I think I will need a property. Is there an
example for that?

Thank you very much.
