Hi all, 

As a complete newbie, I am developing my first custom module. First thing I am trying to do is figure out how to use custom settings using the Christoc.com module template.

In this simple set up I have one Module setting and a TabModule setting.
When I drop two instances of this module on a test page I notice that the ModuleId for both instances are different. This is not what I expected.
Shouldn't the ModuleId be the same for both instances?

This is my code:

public override void UpdateSettings()
        {
            try
            {
                var modules = new ModuleController();
                modules.UpdateModuleSetting(ModuleId, "APIServer", txtSettingAPIServer.Text);
                modules.UpdateTabModuleSetting(TabModuleId, "Model", txtSettingModel.Text);

            }
            catch (Exception exc) //Module failed to load
            {
                Exceptions.ProcessModuleLoadException(this, exc);
            }
        }

 this means, if you "reference" an existing module from a different page, it will be same moduleID.

if you "copy" module and content, it will get a new ModuleID
