HttpRequest.QueryString Property

[John_Doe]

Please be patient with my question, as I am a fairly new programmer. Does anyone know how to use this QueryString property? I am trying to build a webpage that will accept parameters in the url like this:
http://search.somesite.com/cgi-bin/search?query=monsters

I want to hard code in the base site:
'http://search.somesite.com/cgi-bin/search' and then allow a user to add the query=whatever. So technically, I would just need to read what query has been entered into the url, Right?

I was looking up this 'HttpRequest.QueryString Property' and thought I would be able to use this, but I'm not sure how to implement it into an aspx form page. Can someone please advise?

TIA!

Hi,
To get the parameter for query use the following
string strPassedParameter = Page.Request.Params["query"];

and strPassedParameter will equal monster

Hope that helps you
