How do I retrieve the current Module's ID from a "Custom Class"?

I have a routine within a custom class that needs the current ModuleID, but the module has no direct access to the supplied ModuleID property of a ModuleBase class item. I know I can just pass the ModuleID to the class at the time I call it, but I would like to know how to get the ModuleID directly, similar to how one can retrieve the PortalID by calling PortalController.GetCurrentPortalSettings().PortalID

It's easiest to simply pass it as a parameter to the custom class.

Other possibilities may be to pick it off from the Request.QueryString (usually the "mid" parameter) if your module has redirected to another module control; from an object which you have cached and which exposes a previously set ModuleID property; and by various lookups by the module definition's name if you are certain that yours is the one and only module of its type on the active tab or anywhere on the site.

William,

Thank for the response.  I did as you suggested.  I could not find any other way other than passing it as a parameter to my class.

I know this is an old thread, but I just recently came across this issue again. Previously I was programming for DNN 6.x, now I am programming for DNN 7.x. I was hoping things changed but they haven't.

Just so there is no confusion for anyone else that comes across this, the suggestion from Bartosz Siemasz is wrong. The only method available for this situation is to pass the ModuleID to the custom class. There is no method available within a class to automatically retrieve the current ModuleID.
