How to set datasource parameter on usercontrol from pageload of aspx file.

I am using a usercontrol to collect search criteria. I use the same control for two different pages. On one of the pages I need the dropdown to have fewer options to choose from. How can I set the default parameter from the aspx page so it returns the correct dataset. Below is the code for the datasource control on the usercontrol that I want to set the "Level" default value.

<asp:ObjectDataSource ID="statusDataSource" runat="server" 
TypeName="datamanager" 
SelectMethod="GetReferenceData">
<SelectParameters>
<asp:Parameter Name="Level" Type="int32" DefaultValue='0'/>
</SelectParameters>
</asp:ObjectDataSource>

I solved this by creating a label on my control and then set the value in the aspx page. In the control's page_load event I set the selectparameter default to the value of the label.

statusDataSource.SelectParameters["level"].DefaultValue = levelLabel.Text;
