using querystring with frameset

[sodakotahusker]

It appears that the querystring never gets to my page (which is in one of the frames). I tried to include the querystring in my src statement for the frame but that does not work either. How can I get that querystring value to my page?

so when you right click inside the frame and choose properties there is no query string?

I presume you're using something like this:

parent.aspx:
<frameset>
	<frame src="page1.aspx?p1=<%#val1%>">
	<frame src="page2.aspx?p2=<%#val2%>">
</frameset>

and in page1.aspx the Request.QueryString["p1"] returns a blank string (and the same issue with p2 on page2.aspx).
If so, make sure that in the parent.aspx page, under the Page_Load event, you make a Page.DataBind() call.

By #val1 I assume you mean request.querystring value?

What is up with the <%# vs <%= ??? Is there a difference in the way those behave? I am still using = cause I could not find a sample using the # and I could not remember the syntax - and it worked so I left it.

I will try the page binding. Thanks.

Post your code...

 

[sodakotahusker]

My code?
you mean the <%# thing?

<div id="test"><%="This is my querystring" & request.querystring("whatever")%></div>

If that is not the code you are talking about - I am lost!

The page.databind did the trick! Thanks!!
