Hi,

The View.ascx in my module communicates with the server through AJAx calls to a .asmx web service. In that web service, which is part of my module project, how can I access the PortalSettings object? This is needed to identify the user, mostly.

View.ascx inherits the PortalSettings object from its base class, PortalModuleBase. .aspx pages in my project inherit from DotNetNuke.Framework.PageBase and also have access to the PortalSettings object. Is there a similar base class for .asmx web services?

Thank you for any help,

Chris

Thank you for your reply!

In my case, I'd prefer not to pass user identification as a parameter because it would allow other users to "hijack" the web service, i.e. submit data under a different user's identity.

Currently, I am storing the user ID in the session in my View.ascx.cs to retrieve it from there in the web service. However it does not seem to be very reliable. Also, since the session is shared with the portal an other modules, that might not be the best approach.

I followed your lead with the UserController which has indeed a static method GetCurrentUserInfo(), but unfortunately it returns an empty UserInfo object.
