If I replace my control key url with EditURL() String url = Globals.NavigateURL("ConfirmQuery"); url = EditUrl(); Response.Redirect(url, false); url = "http://localhost/dnndev/Test/tabid/61/ctl/Edit/mid/385/Default.aspx" The tab displays "Edit Control for SimpleModule" when I press the command button. This is interesting because the Test module's Edit.ascx and code are basically empty as is my ConfirmQuery files. So where is the Test module picking up the text? I see the same thing in View as well as Edit mode. Do I need to define the control in a config file some where?

EditUrl generated /ctl/edit/mid/### NavigateURL with a controlkey just generates /ctl/keyname so you need to pass additional parameters (mid=###). What you really want to do is call EditUrl("ConfirmQuery")

Thanks Chris. I appreciate the help. I'm further along. I changed the name of the control and reset the module control. I'm still not getting to any code behind but this is a different error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Here's the exception. Its not telling me too much and a Google showed someone else with the same problem but no resolution.

OK, I have this working.  Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Chris! 

BTW: Navigating to a new page / control seems like it would be a good subject for another FAQ or blog post.

Here's my journey to navigate to a new page:

I added a new control using the Web User Control VS template.  That was a mistake.  Coping and renaming the base line Edit control generated by your module template would have been a better idea.

The VS template did 2 bad things:

1) It created an ASP page (.aspx) instead of a control (.ascx) with a Page directive instead of a Control directive.  That causes DNN to not recognize the control when adding it to the module.

2) It generated a page that contained both a <header runat=server> and a <form runat=server> HTML statement which was throwing an exception. DNN injects its own statements and consequently the duplicate statements are not allowed.  I had to remove these statements.  I found this by inspecting the DNN log for the site.

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
    XXXXXXXX
    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>


Additionally, I used the wrong URL to redirect to thinking the error message "object reference not set to an instance of an object" was caused by the the accurate redirect statement:

Response.Redirect(Globals.NavigateURL(PortalSettings.ActiveTab.TabID, "ConfirmSelection", "mid=" + ModuleId.ToString()));

However, Chris suggested a much simpler way to get the URL to redirect to:  url = EditUrl("ConfirmSelection")
