I didn't notice the parenthesis in: module.tostring() was missing, but fixed and still no luck storing values.

Seems like this module follows a different storing method than Westa suggested. I would like to know which way is easiest & most effective.
Here is the code that relates to storing moduleID and userID:

Imports DotNetNuke
Imports System.Web.UI
Imports System.Collections.Generic
Imports System.Reflection
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Imports DotNetNuke.Security.PortalSecurity

Namespace YourCompany.Modules.ModuleName
Partial Class ViewModuleName
Inherits Entities.Modules.PortalModuleBase
Dim ModuleNameInfo_data As New ModuleNameInfo

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

ShowData(txtSearch.Text)

If IsInRole("Registered Users") Or IsInRole("Administrators") Then

Add_My_Listing_LinkButton.Enabled = True

Else

Add_My_Listing_LinkButton.Text = "You must be a Registered User to add a Listing"

Add_My_Listing_LinkButton.Enabled = False

End If

If Not Page.IsPostBack Then

ShowData("")

End If

End Sub

Protected Sub SetModuleId(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.ObjectDataSourceSelectingEventArgs) Handles ObjectDataSource_ModuleName.Selecting

e.InputParameters("ModuleId") = ModuleId.ToString()

End Sub

Protected Sub InsertingItem(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.FormViewInsertEventArgs) Handles FormView1.ItemInserting

e.Values.Item("UserID") = Entities.Users.UserController.GetCurrentUserInfo.UserID

e.Values.Item("ModuleId") = ModuleId.ToString()

e.Values.Item("ID") = 0

End Sub


I will be trying your suggested code above and respond with what I find.
In the meantime, any light you can shed on this is appreciated.

It looks like you have a firm understanding of why the module ID is not being stored.
I input code as informed, but was unclear about how to: "test to see what value myModuleId1, myModuleId2, myModuleId3 and moduleid contain"

It is the FormView1.ItemInserting event that is having issues.  ModuleID and Entities is not declared.

Protected Sub InsertingItem(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.FormViewInsertEventArgs) Handles FormView1.ItemInserting
e.Values.Item("UserID") = Entities.Users.UserController.GetCurrentUserInfo.UserID
e.Values.Item("ModuleId") = ModuleId.ToString()
e.Values.Item("ID") = 0
End Sub

How do I test and complete communication to database using your method?
or
How do I declare ModuleID and Entities, so database recieves information?

Whatever you think is easier.
