Hi,

Can one DNN module inherit another DNN module? Does DNN recommend doing so?

 

Thx a lot for your reply.

Further to this, I would like to know how to put it in place

E.g I have a parent DNN module (say a grid module) with structure that has View, Edit and Settings page along with the Components folder which includes the DAL layer. I have provided filtering / sorting and all basic features to this. As per the various business scenario's I want to reutilize the same functionality but with additional features. How can I do it by inheriting this parent module? I want to inherit this into 2 more child modules which have additional functionality like for e.g.:

1. Grid which has cells with backcolor based on the data displayed in it

2. Grid data displayed in pivot

Just like we have the base class PortalModuleBase, or IModuleCommunicator can I have something like GenericGridBase?

 

The basic purpose of having this kind of inheritance is core functionalities associated with the master grid remain intact (like filtering / sorting / css etc). Whenever a new business requirement of adding up something more to the existing grid comes, I need not touch the existing grid code. I should simply be able to inherit this base grid and continue with the new functionality that needs to be developed over and above it.
