Hi everyone. I've seen LOTS of threads asking for an explanation but I saw no real answer to it.

The background of the error is the following: I'm working on a module for the integration of some apps. In the past, I've been working on version 2 of DNN and having a look at the new architecture I found it not very comfortable. Looking around, I decided to adopt the old module deveopment approach, following the instructions I found int THIS site. I did it because we needed to start ASAP and had no time to try and get confident with the new Business Layer.

I began development in this way and everything was ok. I almost finished it actually. I had this module with several controls inside (among them there was also a TreeView and a ReportViewer). I had a DataGrid with a template column containing a LinkButton. For many reasons I found more appropriate a HyperLink control, so I changed the column and recompile. That was THE ONLY ACTION I TOOK. The module did not work nymore and the error "MinMax persistance type of cookie requires a ModuleId" appeared. It seems that the module ID can't be found.

I installed the module manually from "Module definitions" and had 2 definitions for it with 2 view controls associated (1 for each definition). The module in the 2nd deinition works fine, while the other one does not. I tried every solution posted in evry known forum but nothing happened.

Seen that the compilation I last made should not ahve changed any dlls (I work on the aspx page only), I think it must be an "html" side parsing problem, but I couldn't realize what it'd be. Moreover the debugger does not get to the module code, so this means no code problem is verifying.

Hope you could light my life, becAUSE I'm working on it since 2 days from 8am to 11pm and I'm getting just a bit desperate. The last solution is going to be recreate the presentation layer from scratch and copy and paste the code, but, like Mulder says I WANNA KNOW!!!

thank you in advance

Thanks

Wll, guys there must be some little dnn devil getting fun with me by putting some mess into my modules: I dropped the db and re-installed DNN from scratch. Then created my module definition, put my module on mthe home page and... IT WORKED!!! Many tears started dropping from my unbelieving eyes. To be completely sure a delete the module definition and re-created it and it worked again. Remains a mistery why the error came up, but I can come back home at 6pm again finally (and maybe get some rest). Thank you for your help anyway. Hope I'll never need it again :)
