How can I get the module ID of a different module using the module name? Is that possible?

Thank you.

The short answer is "yes", you can do this.  The long answer is a little more complicated and depends on a couple factors.  First, what "name" are you referring to?  The title of a module instance?  The name of the module definition?  Combination of the two?

I have a scenario internally where I need to find all the references of a particular module type and then link a single instance to a module of another type.  I use the following code to pull that off (pretty basic sample here, mind you):

 

DotNetNuke.Entities.Modules.ModuleController mc = new ModuleController();
ArrayList existMods = mc.GetModulesByDefinition(this.PortalId, "ModuleFriendlyName");

foreach (DotNetNuke.Entities.Modules.ModuleInfo mi in existMods)
{
	if (!mi.IsDeleted)
	{ 
// get module title 
//mi.ModuleTitle;
// additionally, you can find out what tab it is on //mi.TabID;
//mi.ModuleID;
	}
}

Thank you for your reply. Sorry, for the delay in getting back here.

I am not sure how to answer your questions, so maybe it would be better if I told you what I was trying to do. I have a module that users can add clients to a database. Each record includes the module ID so that each instance of the module retains a separate list. In a different module I want to query the list of clients for a specific module so that I can allow users to make a selection of client from that specific module.

I think the code you provided may work, though.

Thank you for your help. I do have one last question. Is there a place I can find more information about the DotNetNuke framework? I have found material about how to make modules and skins, but not to much about the framework itself, and how it works.
