Storing querystring variables in hidden form elements in masterpage

[addstravel]

I would like to store some querystring variables in hidden form elements on the masterpage and reference them from web user controls so that I can preserve the information and consolidate the code in one place...

However, I cannot seem to get access to the information from the web user controls....

I am using public variables on the masterpage to set and get the hidden form element data, e.g:

Public Property SelectedId() As Integer
Get
If hdSelectedId.Value = String.Empty Then
hdSelectedId.Value = "0"
End If
Return hdSelectedId.Value
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As Integer)
hdSelectedId.Value = Value
End Set
End Property

But I cannot retrieve this information from the web user control using the following:

me.master.SelectedId

Even this will not work:

Response.Write(Obj.FindControl("hdSelectedId").ToString)

Any ideas how I can do this?

On your control or page you will have to try and access it. ((HiddenField)Page.Master.FindControl("hdnControlID")).Value.

I am not 100% sure on code now as its not infront of me and have not done it in a while Hope this helps

Thanks nightstalker for your reply - I have decided to just grab querystring each time...
