Hi,

I've developed two custom modules, to allow the creation of a course/curriculum with class enrollment, and a separate testing module, containing tests related to the courses. I placed a grid on the main form of the course module that will contain all the test associated tests. I would this to be a link, and when the user clicks; it will populate a list box on the main form of the test module with the corresponding test.  What parameters do I need to pass to the test module, to make this work? Can this be achieved using query string parameters? As always any help is appreciated!

Thanks,

Larry B.

Do you have an example of how i go about setting this up? The only parameter I need to pass in, is the "TestID", I have the "TestID" column setup as an item templete in the grid. But once the click comes in Im not sure how to handle it. Will the load event of the test module retrieve the querystring parameter? Heres  the item template i have setup. Im using VB.net. Thanks again!

Larry B.,

I just posted an answer to a different thread that you might find useful.

http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/Forums/tabid/795/forumid/111/threadid/216093/scope/posts/Default.aspx

That thread gives a basic explanation of how to send a query string. For the second part of your question here is one way that you can “catch” a query string.

       Private Sub Page_Init(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Init
           Try
                If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
                    Dim _Key As Integer = 0 
                    If Request.QueryString("KEY") IsNot Nothing Then
                        _Key = CType(Request.QueryString("KEY"), Integer)
                    End If 
                    'Do something with _Key
                End If
            Catch ex As Exception
                ProcessModuleLoadException(Me, ex)
            End Try
        End Sub

In this example the query string is KEY and the value is an integer.

It’s important to note that IMC only works if the two modules are on the same page. If they are not on the same page then the next best way to send a parameter is via a query string using NavigateURL() on the sending page and something like the above code to receive the parameter on the destination page.

Hope this helps, if you’re still having problems or if you have any questions let me know.
