does ASP works with "bla.asp?PageID=5" ?

(i worked with php befor)
does ASP work with this method of transferring vars from page to page
using links.
let's say i have a page called "moo.asp" and in that page i have a var
called "PageID"
now i make a link to "bla.asp" and i want to use PageID in that page.

1. can i use "bla.asp?PageID=5" ?
2. if yes, how i use the "PageID" var in "bla.asp" ?
3. Response.Write(id) ofc. didn't work =) as expected, he he...

Yes. It's called a auerystring, and can be found in the Request object's
QueryString collection:

Response.Write Request.QueryString("PageID")
