Hi all,

It has been a while since I have developed anything in DNN.  So long that jumping into the new module development took a little while since the last thing I touched was early DNN3.  I have a question about development in DNN4.

I have a module with a dropdownlist that is databound to an ObjectDataSource which filters a gridview based on the selection.  Autopostback and enablev13wstat3 are set to true.  This works just fine as long as I am logged into the site as administrator/host and the DNN View mode is set to Edit. 

However, when I set the view mode to View or am not logged in as admin/host, the SelectedIndexChanged event never fires for the dropdownlist control.

Can someone explain why this is and how to get around it?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks Micheal.  Actually, I read that and did both before posting. 

Dataprovider...
objProvider = CType(Framework.Reflection.CreateObject("data", "Gent.Modules.GentListLocations", ""), DataProvider)

I cleared the cache under performance, let me try to restart the app and see what happens.

I found the solution from this article:  http://blog.davebouwman.net/CategoryView,category,DNN.aspx

Thanks Dave!

Not sure if the cache just wasn't clearing out or what but this is a definite winner. 
In page load add the following before anything else: (May work in Page init, haven't tried yet)
MyBase.ModuleConfiguration.CacheTime = 0

This insures dynamic modules will load no matter what the settings are in module definitions.
Beware, it could cause performance issues in larger modules with larger datasets.

Note to the core team:  Not sure if it is just WH4L settings disregarding the module cache settings after clearing cache and restarting app.  May need further investigation.  FYI

P.S.  Thanks Micheal for all of your help and advice over the years.  It is greatly appreciated!  You may want to stick this little trick in your pinned post. ;)
