filtering the records in a Detailsview

Detailsview not gridview


Is it possible to change what item is shown in a detailsview object from getting a value from post?

eg
if the url is detail.aspx?cat_no=0002

how can i set the detailsview to display all of 0002's details

That depends on what type of datasource you have for the details view.
If you are using one of the datasource controls (objectDataSource, SqlDataSource, AccessDataSource, ...) you can apply a querystring parameter with a related stored procedure or SQL statement with parameters.
If you are setting the datasource through code you can use either a where clause in a SQL statement or again a stored procedure with parameters.
