Forms - Hidden Field/Look up field

Has anyone managed to setup a form within Sitefinity 4 which can have a hidden field set its value based on a parameter sent to the form via the url. For example: http://mysite.com/myform?EventCode=1234 - ideally I'd like to know the method to lookup the event name of 1234 from an external database.

Thanks,


Stuart

Hello Stuart Radlett,

I'm not sure I understand what you want to achieve. If you have some Sitefinity page with a form on it you could assign a code-behind class to this page and implement a Page_Load event handler where you could simply read the value of Request.QueryString["EventCode"]. Then you can lookup the value in the database using some ADO.NET classes or if the database is mapped through OpenAccess - using the OA model classes.

Does this answer you question?
