QueryString Macro not working

I've created a webpart that takes an integer parameter. The parameter is gathered by query string and never returns the value of the query string.

I have my page URL path property setup with a wildcard like so:

/PageName/Details/{ItemNumber}

And it displays the page as well as the specific data when I view the details for other webparts.

In my webpart property within CMSDesk I simply put {% ItemNumber %} in as the value and it always returns 0. Is there a specific time in the lifecycle of a webpart I should/shouldn't be grabbing this query string value? I've attempted in both the OnContentLoaded() and OnPreRender() events with no success.

Kentico Legend	Brenden Kehren - 1/16/2013 5:31:06 PM RE:QueryString Macro not working Didn't know that was a requirement, your suggestion worked! Are there other requirements for macros like this? I guess I didn't see anything like that explained in the documentation.


Kentico Support	kentico_janh - 1/17/2013 4:14:09 AM RE:QueryString Macro not working Hello, Actually, all old format one-line macros are space sensitive, however you can get the query string through the K# as well and there you can format your macro with any number of spaces you want: {% QueryString.GetValue("ItemNumber") %} Best regards, Jan Hermann
