The requested page, quickstart.aspx, code behind is:

Try
sCon1.Open()
Dim strRQ As String = Server.HtmlEncode(Request.QueryString("WBS")).ToString()
Dim strSQL As String = "Select count(*) from Table where [Number] = '" & strRQ & "'"
Dim cmd As New SqlCommand(strSQL, sCon1)
Dim intCnt As Integer = cmd.ExecuteScalar()
sCon1.Close()
Response.Write(intCnt)
Catch ex As Exception
Response.Write(ex)
Finally
sCon1.Close()
End Try
