Module User Interfaces

Overview

Now you're at a point where you can start making your presentation layer for your desktop module. You have learned how to pull data from the database, provide abstraction, and then transform the data to a collection of objects from your Controller class. This chapter provides you with examples on how to display, modify, and work with the various controls that make up your desktop module in DotNetNuke (DNN).

The examples in this chapter first show you how to make a call to the business object to obtain the information, and then you'll create an Edit control to update the data and to specify settings that are specific to the module instance.

From there, the chapter moves on to the various user controls and interfaces that you can use to your advantage in your module development.
