Hi All,

       I am having problem with applying skin to a module. I have a custom module which has 4 controls linked together. So for example, control 1 has a submit button when clicked, redirect to control 2, etc.. I created a new page and added my custom control and set the skin of a page. However, when I click the submit button on control 1, it redirects to control 2 but the skin become the default skin.

       How to make all the controls (pages) in a custom module to use the same skin ??? Need help please and also urgent :)

       Thanks in advance for all your time and help :)

The default behavior of DNN is to display any module control other then the main view control (having a blank ControlKey) as the only module on the page using the admin skin. A quick but probably not acceptible fix is to use the same skin for both the default and admin skins for the page.

A better fix would be to look into alternatives to the default behavior that results when using the ControlKey as a parameter to NavigateUrl or EditUrl to redirect to your other controls. Techniques such as using only one control and panels or a MultiView control to show/hide the appropriate section of the control or dynamically loading child controls can be used. I generally use the latter method when I don't want to switch skins or need to display other modules on the same page.

Michael Washington has a tutorial on alternatives to NavigateURL: http://www.adefwebserver.com/DotNetNukeHELP/Misc/ModuleNavigationOptions.htm
