XML Content Block

The dynamic ecmContentBlock function is almost the same as the
static one (see ”Static Content Block” on page 368). The only
difference is the parameter, which makes the function dynamic.
The parameter uses a query string call (Request.QueryString) to
read the URL from the browser’s address bar. It treats everything
after the question mark as a list of key/value pairs separated by
ampersands. So, Request.QueryString passes the key as a
parameter and returns its associated value. For example, in URL
, the following QueryString calls
return these values.
QueryString Call Return value
Request.QueryString(“id”) 1
Request.QueryString(“LangType”) 1036
Here is an example of displaying an XML content block. Note that
you specify a content block and an XSLT, which determines how
the content block is displayed.
