How do I access an "opening page" value in aspx.cs page_load code?

Question

See more:

I have an html page containing a textbox with a user name.

A button on the above page uses "window.open" to open an aspx popup which is going to display the user's profile information for editing.

I need to query my database in the aspx.cs's "Page_Load" function to populate the aspx page with the user's information.

Question: How do I get the user's name to the Page_Load function so I can run the SQL query?

Thanks

What I have tried:

The aspx.cs page doesn't know about "window.opener..." so I can't access the html page's elements through that.

Really need some more details on this... is the site using Windows Authentication or is there some type of login system?

using window.open set the value in the querystring.

One way to do it is in the window.open() method add the userid to the querystring. Then the page that is being opened can get the value from the querystring.
