Use a querystring parameter in a CAML Query

Question

I want to pass a parameter between two separate web parts I am developing. In my 'Detail' webpart i need to build a CAML query to display the correct profile based on their name.

pdquery.Query = "<Where>"+
                   "<Eq>"+
                       "<FieldRef Name='Name'/>"+
                       "<Value Type='Text'>{parameter}</Value>"+
                   "</Eq>"+
                "</Where>"

not sure how i get the parameter into the Query...is this even possible?

Answer 1

Erm - you can just concatenate it into the string?

pdquery.Query = "<Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='Name'/><Value Type='Text'>"
                  + yourParameter + "</Value></Eq></Where>"
