Creating Custom Modules - Module Edit Control

(Page 4 of 7 )

The Edit control is used by administrators to modify or change how your module functions. To set up the Edit control follow the steps we took to create the View control with the following exceptions:

• Do not implement the IPortable, IActionable, and ISearchable interfaces. The context menu only works with the View control. The control menu is used to navigate to the Edit control.
  
• Change the text in the table to say EditShopListRowOne and EditShopListRowTwo.

• Save the file as EditShopList.ascx.

Add the following in the HTML section:

<%@ Control language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Inherits="EganEnterprises.CoffeeShopListing.EditShopList" CodeBehind="EditShopList.ascx.vb"%>

and this to the code-behind page:

Imports DotNetNuke
Namespace EganEnterprises.CoffeeShopListing

  Public MustInherit Class EditShopList
    Inherits Entities.Modules.PortalModuleBase

    Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As _
    System.Object, _
    ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    'Put user code to initialize the page here
    End Sub

  End Class

End Namespace

Again, add an HTML table to your control. When viewing your control in design mode it should look like the figure below.
