Web Page Generator

[Luke Davis]

I have a custom template in Visual Web Developer that has the same basic
information but a specific set of words need to be changed out, they are
labels, for example the city name. I have a database in SQL2005 with one
column of all the cities that need their own web page. Is there already a
free tool or guide to making an app that will systematically go down that
list and generate a .aspx page for every row (city name) and deposit it into
a folder?

Or what I was going to do, was load variables into the URL, I know PHP this
can be done, but I'm new to ASP .NET, can I make the first page with a list
of cities, based off the sql database, that when clicked they will all go to
the same page and add that variable in the URL, then the page can pull that
variable out of the URL and fill the labels? I need it to be in the URL
so I get SEO credit for having different links.

Thanks

Look at Request.QueryString

That seems to only work with forms. Is it at all possible to make a certain
piece of text give that value. i.e.

First page we'll call "cities.aspx"
it is a simple list like this:

CALIFORNIA
============
Sacramento
San Fransisco
Monterey
Los Angeles

each of the cities would be links to the same page that we'll call
template.aspx

and if you click Sacramento it'll send
http://domain/template.aspx?city=Sacremento

and finally, can this still be done by drawing the city names from a
database?

Thanks

Luke,

RE:
<< That seems to only work with forms >> (in reference to QueryString).

That isn't true. QueryString is independent of forms and even technologies
(php vs asp.net vs whatever). Querystring is [can be] part of any http
request. It is then up to the server-side technology (ASP.NET, PHP, etc) to
do something with the querystring value.

Your question really has nothing to do with the C# language. You might have
better luck taking your ASP.NET-related questions to:
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet
