I am trying to develop a module that displays information about products (product code, description etc.)

At the moment I have it reading the product code from the query string, going off and finding the product record and then populating some labels on the web control.. everything is fine.

What I want to do now is to display some pictures of the products. 

I want to get a 3rd party module (something like EasyDnnGallery perhaps) and use that to display my product images in a nice way.

In my code I am going to have to create the module on the page and populate it.

I don’t know how to create an instance of a 3rd Party module and add it to a page in code. Can anyone help with that?

The same page will be used to display any request for product information. If 10 people are trying to view the page at the same time, will that cause issues? The reason I ask is that I understand that modules use the Dotnetnuke database to hold information about their content. If I change the content of a module, could that cause issues if many people request that page in succession?

Or am I just going about things in the wrong way??

Thanks,

Scott

You can add 3rd Party Module to your module easy with registration it like control. Something like this:

<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="MultiEdit" Src="~/DesktopModules/dnn.MultiEdit/MultiEdit.ascx" %>

and then you can use it in your form like

<dnn:MultiEdit id="objMultiEdit" runat="server"></dnn:MultiEdit>

But in your case i am not sure its correct way. About locks from DB - no worries, locks are critical on write only, on read you can have a lot of users, much more then 10 :)
