I have been working on a framwork that I will make available for all soon that allows controls or other implementations to be rendered on a page in place of a token the you specify. So Far I the build in implementation this I will be releasing with it are Flash, Image and text replacment.

An implementation such as the Flash allows you to set up the properties on the admin or host pages and specify what the token is to be and what pages (tabs) to use them on. Then you can go to the specified pages and place the token on the page in any location and now when the page loads the token will be replaced with the flash you specified. This is a great way to add extra functionaly to third party modules etc. Also I have made the framwork extensible so any developer who chooses can eaisly create an implementation and plug it in. More to come on this soon...

Ok here is the isssue! I have a IHTTP module that needs to know what state the page is in. I need to know if the page is in edit mode or not. Really I just need to know if the page is in view state or not. I also have access to the portal settings in the IHTTP module. Currently I just to a check on the qurey string

    Dim p As Page = CType(sender, Page)
    If p IsNot Nothing Then        
	If p.Request("ctl") IsNot Nothing Then           
	Dim rCtl As String = p.Request("ctl").ToLower
          If rCtl = "edit" OrElse rCtl = "module" Then
		' do not do token replacment
	   End If
        End If
    End If

This method is not cutting it. Can anyone come up with a better solution?

Thanks

Thanks. This seems to be the best method I seen so far and most likely the way I will implement it.
