Getting parameter from macro in umbraco 6 via razor

Im having trouble doing this. what i have is this macro:

<umbraco:Macro Alias="testingparameter" 
MyOwnParameter="hello" runat="server"></umbraco:Macro>

So what im trying to do is to get the hello string via my razor script: I have tried these things:

<div>test1: @Parameter.MyOwnParameter</div>
<div>test2: @(Html.Raw(Parameter.MyOwnParameter))</div>
<div>test3: @Model.Parameters.MyOwnParameter</div>

But it all returns empty string. what i get back is this

 <div>test1:</div>
 <div>test2:</div>
 <div>test3:</div>

so I guess none of the above is right, or am I just missing something?

Please note that im using umbraco 6.

You have to set the parameter in the macro within the backoffice too, with an alias of "myOwnParameter". See here for the documentation:

http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/reference/Templating/Macros/Razor/using-macro-parameters

Also, I recommend using camel case wherever you reference the alias, as I seem to remember that when accessing the parameter through the dynamic @Parameter collection, this is how the alias is defined.
