how to get module path? 

how can I get the path the desktopModules/MyModule path from the module itself?

I need the path because I have some images on my module, and I need to make the links relative

Thanks in advance.

Re: how to get module path? 

If you make the assumption that you know the folder name for the module and somebody isn't going to change it, you could use a relative url (assuming it is an ASP.NET image control -- something like image.ImageUrl = "~/DesktopModules/MODULEFOLDER/images/expand_blue.jpg")

I use the same technique on several modules.  Additionally, depending on which class you inherit from on your modules (I typically use UserModuleBase, uncertain on which class it is defined) you can use ResolveUrl("~/DesktopModules/MODULEFOLDER/images/expand_blue.jpg") to convert it to a path usable by other things.  Basically the same thing the ASP.NET image control does in the background anyway.

Re: how to get module path? 

You module will inherit from PortalModuleBase which exposes the public property ModulePath.  ModulePath will return the path to the module folder starting from the root folder with beginning and ending forward slashes. For example: "/public_html/DesktopModules/MyModuleFolder/"

Bill's recommendation is the way that I do it for my modules.  (now...)

Thanks, works like a charm :)
