As title,

I got a UserControl that need to run on both DNN and ASP.NET. And I need a checking mechanism to distinguish where the UserControl is running. Any variable or flag (e.g., in Cookie) can be used for the purpose?

Regards,

Ricky.

Guessing the UserControl itself isn't dependent on any DNN assemblies in order to run, since you'll be popping it into a couple different areas?  If it isn't, you might be able to use reflection to get the path to the bin folder, then check the bin folder for the existence of the DotNetNuke.dll file.  Less drastic (and costly), you might be able to check the web.config of the hosting application for something that is DNN specific such as the sectiongroup for DotNetNuke.  Or check the root app folder for "DotNetNuke.config".

Probably a multitude of other ways you could check, but I'm sure one of the above would suit your needs.

As was mentioned, there are a multitude of ways to check if the control is running in a DNN installation. One of the simplest and least costly would be to check (after the user control has been added to the Controls collection of the parent) the control's ClientID property to see if it contains (starts with) the prefix "dnn_". This should be reliable unless the framework has been modified to remove this trace of a DNN site.
