converting String to uniqueidentifier

[Sandra]

I am trying to convert a string into a uniqueidentifier by using the following code

string contrID = Request.Params["oId"
SqlGuid sqlID = SqlGuid.Parse(contrID

I am then putting sqlID into my SQL WHERE clause so it only pulls that record. I've double checked that the record I'm trying to pull is in the database. I am getting the error below. I don't understand what is causing it, Any Help is appreciated!!!!!!

ArgumentNull_String Parameter name: g

It's pretty much what the error message is telling you: contrID is null
- there's no string to parse into a GUID.

Are you sure you have the right params name ("oId")?

Are you sure it's in the request?
