Migrating site from asp.net/C# - question regarding querystrings / SQL
Hi all,
A client has asked me to migrate a web site I developed using asp.net/C# to a CMS. I have looked at several solutions and Umbraco seems to be the best.
I have subscribed to umbraco.tv and am learning the basics from there.
However, there are a few issues I'd like some advice on. Here's the first:
The site currently has a page that accepts a querystring e.g.
The codebehind in thepage.aspx then takes the querystring value and passes it to a stored procedure which queries a SQL database. The results of the query are then used to build the page content.
(By the way, it's done this way rather than, say, by having a drop-down list of values on thepage.aspx because the example URL above would be sent out in marketing emails)
Question: Is this something that could feasibly be done in Umbraco?
ROUGHLY, how would this be done? I'm not looking to be spoon-fed a solution, I'm happy of course to do the leg work. I'm just looking for some general guidance.
