Pass variable to a control via HTML / aspx page

[Caradog]

Just a quick question, dont have any reference books on me at the moment and google's driving me nust today, so though I'd get some clarity from you guys with a simple yes/no answer

We have a product which we are handing over to some designers, they get all the aspx pages, no .vb, and a list of controls they can include on each page such as, show page header, show product lsit and so on. These controls have fixed abilities, so just including for example the "showproducts" control, will simply display a list of available products in a fixed format.

Is is possible, via the aspx page where the designer has included the control tag, to also pass a variable into the which the control can pick up on and use?

If so, how and where I can find examples

You could try a querystring... just an idea.

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Web Custom Control is what you're after and here is a tutorial (pretty good imo) about it
