I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. I have parent and child pages with dynamic content and would like to programatically change the container title and breadcrumb info. Can I do this on page load? I'm not sure which DNN classes and properties to use or how to access them.

For example, lets say I have two pages, Class and Student. These pages aren't shown in the menu structure but are linked programmatically and passed their IDs on the querystring. So, in the class page I might show everything for a specific class including links to each student in the class. Those links go to a Student specific page where again the data is retrieved at runtime. Right now the breadcrumb might show Home > Class > Student. Where I would prefer Home > Econ 101 > Jane Doe.  In addition, in the container for the custom module that displays the Class info, I'd like the container title to be Econ 101, not something generic, and of course the same for the student module.

Is there a good resource that describes the DNN classes and properties available programatically? Maybe I've missed it but I couldn't find what I needed in the docs or the Wrox book.

Thanks in advance.

The problem is that by the time your module gets loaded and modifies those properties, they've already been rendered in the other controls. That's my guess, anyway. It sounds like you're trying to create a module that does what DNN does. I'm not sure what the impetus for your approach is, but I would stop working against DNN and work with it. Just use separate modules.

This is correct, Page_Init is where you put the code.
