Changing the title of a module control programmatically

Hmmm... That's a fantastic question. I've never tried to do that. I've only used the resource file to update that value. 🤔

I found somethng in an old code I wrote some years ago:

protected override void OnPreRender(EventArgs e)
{
   ModuleContext.Configuration.ModuleTitle = Localization.GetString("Whatever", LocalResourceFile);
   base.OnPreRender(e);
}

I am sure that worked at the time I wrote it, but it does not anymore. I tried to use this instead of the code above:

protected override void OnPreRender(EventArgs e)
{
   ModuleContext.Configuration.ModuleControl.ControlTitle = Localization.GetString("Whatever", LocalResourceFile);
   base.OnPreRender(e);
}

No luck. Anyone who can bring light into the darkness? Is it a bug?

Happy DNNing!

I recently had this exact same need and found what you have works in the OnInit function:

Be sure to have Whatever.Text as the name for the string in the .resx file.

Oh wow... Now that I'm seeing this code sample, it's reminding me that this is something I USED to know!  🤣
