request.query help

[xida]

Hi,

am currently in the middle of constructing a form using visual studio 2008, its on asp.net c# code,

the first form is to submit the data into a database and send out an email to the relevant person to say that’s its been submit with a link to view the form

link e.g. view_form.apsx?id=5

it emails out the link to the person based upon the id of the new row in the database, up to here i have working

how do i get the view_form to retrieve the id from the url and use it to fill out the printable version of the form.

this is based upon a building maintenance form so it has multiple labels on how locations and maintenance required along with the persons details

the information to be retrieved is as follows,

date, center, requestby, section, email, location1, repair2, location2, repair2, urgency

any help on this would be very appreciated

thanks

if you are just asking how to get the query string value here is the snippet

in the codebehid file of view_form

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string strid;
strid = Request.QueryString["id"];

Response.Write(strid);

}

after getting the id value in the strid variable, utilize to refill the new form.

ahh ya i noticed i didnt explain it properly as looking over it i have missed things out sorry

i have 2 pages,
1st is the form,
2nd is the information view page.

when the first page is filled in and submit it submits the information into a LINQ database (using visual studio to design it)
once the information is within the database it emails out a form with a link with the id in the url

e.g. view_form.aspx?id=7

i then need the 2nd page to get the id from the url,

i have this code for that

PHP Code:

  string idParameterValue = Request.QueryString["id"];
        if (null != idParameterValue)
        {
            int id = 0;
            if (!int.TryParse(idParameterValue, out id))
            {
                throw new Exception(string.Format("Unable to read 'id' parameter, value is - {0}", idParameterValue));
            }
        }


then use the idParameterValue to search the linq database to find that row and export the information into labels,

e.g. email into lblemail, name to lblname

thanks for the help
