QuryString in a CustomControl

[JLizOB]

Hi I am overriding the CreateChildControls method, in a separate class, of the gridview to create a custom gridiview. Is there anyway I can access the querystrings from the URL in this class? Thanks!

Nevermind I had to put Page.Request.QueryString["ID"] rather than just using Request.Querystring["ID"].

this method ties the grid to the query string. a more flexible solution would be to create public property and assign the value from the calling page/user control.

this this method an error could occur if the url is not properly formatted.

public class MyGridView : GridView
{
   private int id;

   public void SetId(int id)
   {
      this.id = id;
   }
}

then on the page assign the value

MyGridView grid = new MyGridView();
grid.SetId(int.Parse(Request.QueryString["Id"]));
//or
grid.SetId(1);
//or
grid.SetId(From.SomewhereElse());
