The QueryString in ASP.NET reads information from the URL. So with a URL like this:
Something.aspx?ID=123
and code like this:
Request.QueryString["ID"]
would give you 123.
The id = @id part is used to assign a value to the id field coming from a parameter called id, prefixed with the @ symbol to indicate it's coming from a paramater.
Hope his helps, but if not, please ask specific questions and provide a copy of the code you're asking questions about.
