I am working on a module that needs to have several different "view" pages as part of a workflow process.  I assume that this is possible. What is the best way to accomplish this? The user will be leaving the module to complete part of the task and then returning to the module.

Any suggestions or code examples would be appreciated.

a normal module have several views.

what are you trying to do. i dont get the message

you can call any (control)view via the moduleId, and Control Key.

This thread gives some good advise and code sample on how a module may use LoadControl to dynamically change its view without the annoying (IMHO, at least) normal behavior of automatically switching to an admin skin for view controls having other than a blank key.

I found that I was using this method so often that as part of my extension of PortalModuleBase and several associated classes, I have defined a framework for loading and manipulating multiple views into a placeholder in the parent module. The parent module usually handles all module security, data access, etc. while the child view controls handle the visual presentation of data in various forms. For example one view might present data in a many column datagrid; another in a one column list; and another in a more free-form layout. By saving initial value of the "ViewKey" in TabModuleSettings, the same module may be placed on various pages of your site to present vastly different views of the same or subsets of the same data.
