Pass Parameter value through hyperlink?

Question

Hello and a Happy New Year to everyone!
I have an ASP.NET web application that I am making. I was wondering if it were possible to pass a value to a CR that has a parameter value.
In my example, I have a report called rptLicenseReport. This report has a parameter value of FileNo. Which comes from the field File No in the table License Applications in the database (Access) . Of course, CR does its own curly bracket thing for the parameter... but I was wondering if it was possible to have a hyperlink on my main page that points to the report.aspx page (which holds the report viewer, and the report as a whole) while passing the File Number.
Essentially I would like the link to look like : www.urllinkhere.com/report.aspx?FileNo=6
and when clicked that path would open the report.aspx page and pass the FileNo into the report. I have tried to make the report and have the link pass just like that but the report comes back with an error stating that there is no parameters chosen/given (thinking off-hand, error is something like that).
Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated. For those interested my report is in VB language, not C#.
Much Thanks!

AG,
Much thanks for the code, I modified it to fit my VB environment and it worked well. What I have it doing is utilizing some of the earlier information on the http requerying having the labelID in the URL get posted to a label. Using your code I then have the label ID set as the parameter source. This worked fine and it now populates the report with the ID of the earlier record selected.
Here's my code as an FYI and future reference:
Protected Sub LabelReference (ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles form1.Load
        lblID.Text = CInt(Request.QueryString("FileNo"))
    End Sub
    Protected Sub ReportDocument(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CrystalReportSource1.DataBinding
        Dim rdoc As New ReportDocument
        Dim rptValue As Object
        rptValue = CInt(lblID.Text)
        rdoc.Load(Server.MapPath("~/files/rptLicenseView.rpt"))
        rdoc.SetParameterValue("FileNo", rptValue)
        CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = rdoc
    End Sub
