I just started programming in sharepoint. Could you tell me where to find the ULS log?

@bijesh: It could just be the case that the Imtech CQWP doesn't handle the Design mode properly. Unfortunately I have never worked with it and SPD so I cannot provide you with any more information. Have you check the ULS log to see if you can get any more information?

I added a Imtech CQWP on a page in SP2010. It works fine but after editing this page in Sharepoint Designer2010 in advanced mode. This web part shows error. It says "Web Part Error: An unexpected error has occurred" . I played with it and found out this error will not occur until the page size is changed from zero. What is the issue here

Thanks so much @Joe!!! Such a straight forward and trival solution. I feel silly I didn\'t find that one on my own, but thanks again for the great pointer.

@Mike, I had the same question too. I dug a bit in ItemStyle.xsl and found that there was a special variable called "CBQPageUrlQueryStringForFilters" that would provide the page querystring. So in the XSL, you can use something like

Thanks for the reply! I\'ll check out the Mavention version. However, it isn\'t immediately obvious which \"Prodecten\" this is on the Mavention site. Do you happen to have an english version or can you point me to the web part? I don\'t mind paying for web parts that meet the requirements.

@Mike: Unfortunately, the Web Part you're referring to, doesn't provide access to other query string parameters. The good news is, that Mavention offers a newer version of the CQWP that allows you to access all query string parameters others than the paging parameter using a XSL parameter. As it's a commercial product you would however have to purchase a license.

Waldek, I've been using this verion of the CQWP for a bit. It there a way to preserve other parameters on the command line when paging is used? i.e. if I use the default 'p' parameter for paging, when I hit page two, any parameters in the URL are replaced with p=2. I was using a filter URL parameter which works great for the first page, but then is overwritten when page two or more is requested using the paging UI.
