i'm having a problem programmically changing a container for a module.  i don't want to put the containersrc in a cookie or add to the querystring. 

i first thought i could update the module moduleinfo.containerpath and moduleinfo.containersrc but that didn't work.  i then tried updating the "PortalSettings" application context like a skin but that didn't work either.  in fact i got an error:

DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Unhandled Error Adding Module to TopPane ---> System.Exception: Exception of type 'System.Exception' was thrown. at DotNetNuke.UI.Skins.Skin.LoadContainer(String ContainerPath, Control objPane) at DotNetNuke.UI.Skins.Skin.InjectModule(Control objPane, ModuleInfo objModule, PortalSettings PortalSettings) --- End of inner exception stack trace

i know this error is coming from the skin.vb but i'm having troubles getting the debugger working on the source.

note: i do not have these containers in the skininfo.rootcontainer path.

does anyone know how to programmically change a container for a module?

You might be able to do it with an HTTPModule, but you will have to get to the module in question before page_init  where it get's injected into the page.
