Hi,

I just came across the same requirement as you. What I did is basically just inherit the child user control from PortalModuleBase, because inside the child control I only need the UserID. But if I'm trying to extract module-specific information, such way won't work because it isn't properly initialized by DNN.

So what you can do is leave the child control to inherit from UserControl. When you want to access the module-specific information, you can just access it from the child control by using: (this.Parent as PortalModuleBase).ModuleId  , assuming that parent module directly loads the child control, without inserting it into Panel or other Container control. If that's the case, you have yo find the correct reference of parent module (this.Parent.Parent etc).

That's my 2cents. Anyone got better ways to do this?
