Hey guys and gals.  I am trying to discover the current page id and module id, have scoured the docs and api, but can't find the answer anywhere.  Specifically, I am trying to find out how to get the current page id, and the current module id, from inside the module code, and also from inside provider code (like if I added a new text provider or caching provider). 

Any help would be truly appreciated.  This used to be easy for me to find, but I haven't been coding dnn for a while, and I am completely stumped.  Used to be that inside a module, Me.ModuleId (or something simple like this) did the trick...for modules anyway...

If you have your modules inherit from PortalModuleBase, then you can use Me.ModuleId or Me.TabId.

You can also use PortalSettings.ActiveTab.TabID

To get to PortalSettings though will take a little more work though.

What we do in our module development, and in our training classes, is create a baseclass for our module, all our usercontrols inherit from that class. That baseclass inherits from PMB allowing us to get to all the DNN information, as well as our own custom information.

I agree. We use the Portalsettings method when creating skincontrols which inherit from SkinObjectBase.
