Hi there guys

Im trying to create a simple list and detail module and need some help on developing this.  This is the first time im developing for DNN and even after reading through some of the tutorials I'm still a little bit lost.

I have created the first view control that will get the list of items from the database, it displays this list on the page.

I then need a link from each of the list items that will then load another control that will show a more detailed version of the list item.

Does anyone know any tutorials that go into this type of depth or help me out with this?

Oh and on a side note, I would like the detail part of this module to show the a friendly URL, ideally the product name.

Hello:

Well, on the summary page, you'd need to add a link button to the grid, pointing to this detail module...passing in the key of this record to the detail module.  I know that's vague, but it's too much code to just place here.  What I would do is take a look at the DNN source...perhaps one of the open-source module projects that has a summary and detail view (like Module-Events!)  and see how the ascx and code-behind files for the summary and detail are laid out.

Hope this helps

Thanks for that, i think what i might try is having 2 panels on the page, one for the list and one for the details and show and hide them as required.
