All,

I have a user control which is subsclassed from PortalModuleBase.

I have a "controls/TextEditor" control on the user control.

In my application, I am dynamically loading the UserControl and then getting the html markup of it. (I have to send this markup across the wire to another module)

WHile Loading, I get a NullPpointerException in RichTextEditor.Initialize(), Upon debugging I noticed that PortalSettings is null from v13wstat3.

The code to dynamically load control is

Page pageHolder = new Page();

UserControlBase viewControl = (UserControlBase)pageHolder.LoadControl(path);

pageHolder.Controls.Add(viewControl);

 StringWriter output = new StringWriter();
 HttpContext.Current.Server.Execute(pageHolder, output, false);

   return output.ToString();

If I remove texteditor from my control, everything works fine..Any DNN control is causing this error...

Now, if we have to load any control extending PortalModuleBase dynamically, do I have to do any thing for v13wstat3 or somewhere?

Please any help is appreciated

ok..after further debugging I found that all ModuleConfiguration, PortalId, etc fields are null in the newly loaded control.

How do I load a user control such that it gets all these values set..my user control extends PortalModuleBase..but I am not loading this user control from a Class (which doesnt derive from PortalModulebase..Is this the issue??)

Can any one please explain me the basics of loading

Brian Dukes wrote That stuff is set through the ModuleConfiguration property, so you want something like viewControl.ModuleConfiguration = this.ModuleConfiguration; Hope it helps,

I thought of using that..but unfortunately it wouldnt work for me..

Because I am creating my "user control" in a web service (.asmx) which doesnt inherit from PortalModuleBase. 

For now, I removed RichTextEditor from my user control and directly outputting text to a Literal Control.

If you know a way to get PortalSettings or ModuleCOnfiguration from within a Class (that doesnt extend PortalModuleBase) please do let me know..That will help me to use all DNN Web Controls on my dynamic user control

TIA
