    How I can get params from MACRO to custom build control

    API Questions

    Hi guys, please do not bite my head of, I still just learning. Here is a problem. I have following on my template:

                    <umbraco:Macro category="Manager" city="Lincoln" state="RI" Alias="Macroinsidemacrotest" runat="server"></umbraco:Macro>

    How I can get those params into my control. I tried to use

    Node.GetCurrent().GetProperty("category").Value   -- but Visual Studio say that NODE element does not exists. And I do not blame it since as far as I know NODE belongs to XML and as far as VS concern I am not reading any XML in my ASCX. I just need to get those 3 parameters (in bold) into my control. 
    Can anybody clear this for me?
    Thanks

    Hi All Blonde

    Node is valid to retrieve properties of the current page you are viewing, however this is not the way to retrieve a parameter from your MACRO.

    There is an Umbraco Free Video that outlines how to pass a value in from a MACRO to a user control and display on the page.

    Hope this gets you moving forward.

    Cheers, Nigel
