I'm writing a custom module for DNN 5, and I need a "Manage" link to be on every control in the module. I created a new UserControl ("ManagerLink") that inherits from PortalModuleBase, put my link into that control, and dropped that control on ALL OF MY MAIN CONTROLS.

The problem is that ModuleId and TabId are always -1 in "ManagerLink" nested control. PortalId works just fine, and I can get a TabId by doing PortalSettings.ActiveTab.TabID.

  1. Why can't I get ModuleId and TabId in from "ManagerLink" control, even though it inherits from PortalModuleBase?

  2. Is there an alternative method to get ModuleId (equivalent of PortalSettings.ActiveTab.TabID)

 I ran into this myself. I haven't done any research into it, but I figure it isn't being loaded by DNN, so there is no moduleID to assign it. 

What I did is put a label on the subControl and a public property that sets the value of the moduleID as the text of the label. I can then 'access' the moduleId via either the label or the property (I use the property).

Since the child control inherits from PortalModuleBase, I would do the following in the Page_Load handler of the parent control:

' Note: ctlManageLink is assumed to be a reference to the child control

With ctlManageLink
    .ModuleConfiguration = Me.ModuleConfiguration
    .LocalResourceFile = Me.LocalResourceFile
End With

The above allows the child control to use the parent's ModuleConfiguration (which will include ModuleId) and LocalResourceFile for any localization.
