    In my LightSwitch project, I am sending the following parameters from one screen to another screen:

    "Me.Application.ShowEditableMilestone_TasksGrid(iProductNumber, iMilestoneID, sMilestone)"

    In the other screen I have a query to accept "iProductNumber" and "iMilestoneID" and the query works fine to populate a LightSwitch EditableGrid.  I would like to get the value of the other parameter "sMilestone" which has some text "This item is Closed" without using a query, etc.  I just want to display this value as a heading somewhere on my screen.

    Is there any other way to pass just general parameters from one screen to another.  Sounds so simple but I can't seem to find a solution. Thank you.

    Hi Edward,

    You should be able to just Add Data Item (button at the top of the screen designer) of type String, name it whatever you want, and then make it a parameter. This becomes a screen property that you can access on your screen how you see fit (i.e. this.MyProperty in C# or Me.MyProperty in VB). You don't necessarily need to use parameters as inputs to queries.
