Passing values between aspx webpage and embedded Windows form control

[zane_o]

I have an asp.net page with an embedded Windows form. The form launches properly and works, however I now need to send information from the webpage into the control to populate a textbox. I believe this can be done using the html param within the object definition. Here is an example of how I am trying to do it:
<object id="Object1" classid="http:MyDLL.dll#MyDll.MyWinForm" height="650" width="800" >
<param name="MyText" value="Text goes here" />
</object>
I have no idea how to get the value of MyText within the form. Can someone please provide syntax (in VB) for getting this value?
