Sorry I may have misunderstood your question, however the common pattern involves the query string

You can access the query string values as

if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(HttpContext.Current.Request.QueryString["GroupID"]) == false) {
    String groupId = HttpContext.Current.Request.QueryString["GroupID"];
}

you would then be able to set this value to the textbox.Text property in your page load event, which will apply the value from the query string to the textbox.
Generally, you want to check for null or empty strings before attempting to access the query string.

Also, always remember that this kind of action is often a target for malicious users to do malicous things with your website, so you must check inputs to ensure ‘bad’ inputs are ignored.
