HTTPRequest Querystring Exception

[dlong]

I am attempting to use a simple querystring passed from a VB application into my aspx page, ASP .NET 2.0. The following error appears no matter how it is arranged as suggested in the forum search results for similar problems:
---------------------------------------------------------
Exception Details: System.Web.Http Exception: Request is not available in this context

Source Error:
Line 48: Public Sub Run()
Line 49:
Line 50: param = Request.QuerySt ring("name") <-------------
Line 51: If (param Is Nothing) Then
Line 52: Console.Write(" Query string is null")

Here is the code I'm using:
(code behind page)

Imports System
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Data.Ole Db
Imports System.XML
Imports System.Web
Imports Microsoft.Visua lBasic
Imports System.IO

Namespace Security.Landin g
Class _Default
Inherits System.Web.UI.P age
Public param As String
Public Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArg s) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim writer As StringWriter
writer = New StringWriter
Console.SetOut( writer)
Dim myemployees As _Default
myemployees = New _Default
myemployees.Run ()
output.InnerHtm l = writer.ToString ()
End Sub

Public Shared Sub Main()
Dim myemployees As _Default
myemployees = New _Default
myemployees.Run ()
End Sub

Public Sub Run()
param = Request.QuerySt ring("name") <-------------------------
If (param Is Nothing) Then
Console.Write(" Query string is null")
Else
Console.Write(" Name: " + param.ToString)
End If
End Sub
End Class
End Namespace
--------------------------------
Does anyone see the error of my ways?

Many Thanks

i think request or response doesnt work on a seperate vb application.how ever you can use it in aspx.vb page
