Hi there. I am sorry if this has been asked before but i could not find it on any forumn

I created a module and just to be on the safe side, I added ItemID, ModuleID, CreateByUser and CreatedDate as Columns to my table and then went ahead and generated the Info, Controller, SQLDataprovider and Dataprovider with the modified SeaburyDesign CodeSmith templates as shown on the videos.

Fair enough, i had to make some Namespace adjustments, but then i ran into a problem on the ViewXXX.ascx.vb class. The PageLoad method is asking for

colImageLinkBannerss = objImageLinkBannerss.GetImageLinkBanners(ModuleId)

However, the autogenerated GetImageLinkBanners method that signature is.

Public MustOverride Function GetImageLinkBanners(ByVal itemID As Integer, ByVal moduleId As Integer) As IDataReader

The problem now is that the ItemID is unavailable at the PageLoad method. Commenting this out will only solve the problem in the short run.

An important element in delevoping module is understanding the scope of the data.  In all but a few instances your data should be keyed off of the PortalID.  What this means, is that if you look at the relationships for your table, can you ultimately resolve the PortalID associated with your data.  This is important because DotNetNuke uses a virtual portal model which allows multiple independent portals to run from a single installation.  Does this mean you need to store PortalID in your table?  No.  It means you need to have a relation to some data that ultimately has a relation with PortalID.  So if you store ModuleID or TabID with your data then you can use those pieces to get to the PortalID since a module or tab is related to a single portal.
