>Not using FormParameter, no. FormParameter evaluates Request.Form["Name of FormField value"], so the parameter value it gets has to be a member of the Form collection. You could add a hidden control to do this, though (instead of a property). It actually doesn't look too complicated to create your own subclass of Parameter if you really want to do this.
Can I set the parameter value myself in the code?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
