Dependency Injection from Provider Started By Adam Ross I have implmented a custom profile provider class from the abstract ProfileProvider class. What is the proper way to access the DI container. I have tried this HttpContext.Current.GetScope().ServiceProvider.GetService(typeof(IXyz)) But I am not sure if this is the correct way. I am currently on version 9.13.0	2	624	1	2/5/2024 11:37 AM by Adam Ross
ModuleAction on custom modules Started By Seek78 Hello, I'm adapting some modules from 7.4 to 9.11.2 and I'm facing with ModuleActions.

Scheduler Next start Started By Kristian Radolovic Hi everyone. Can someone please explain how DNN Scheduler 'calculates' the 'Next start' value I'm accessing the scheduler from code behind to manage my Tasks only (giving access to some users) and when I create a new task set it to start ie. 2023/11/3 00:05AM repeat every month I see that 'Next Start' is set to 2023/11/2 14:01:15. Also, when the task is run, the Next Start gets some weird value.	2	660	2	11/3/2023 3:32 AM by Kristian Radolovic

ModuleSearchBase problem Started By fatgl Hi, I have a custom module I need to be searchable from DNN search. So I have added a Controller class to my module that extends ModuleSearchBase with GetModifiedSearchDocuments method. I added the namespace in the module settings. However since I added the namespace the module crashes and throws this exception the log: Value cannot be null.

Compilation problem when upgrading to DNN 9.12 Started By Stéphane Tétard Hi I'm trying to update a Class Library Project to make it compatible with DNN 9.12.0 but I'm facing to the following error: SGEN : error CS0012: The type 'System.Collections.Generic.ICollection`1' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced.

Changing the title of a module control programmatically Started By Michael Tobisch It is easy to change the title of a module programmatically, something like private void Page_Init(object sender, System.EventArgs e){ ModuleConfiguration.ModuleTitle = 'Whatever'; } But how can I do this for a control (eg. 'Edit'). I know it is possible in the resource file by adding a key 'ControlTitle_edit', but is this possible from the code behind somehow Happy DNNing!

Making Json and Xml get along at a single endpoint Started By Tim Nixon Hi all -- I have an API controller that receives data from several outside services (more property, several outside devices, I guess) via a POST request to a REST endpoint. When I started this project a looong time ago all of the devices were sending XML, so later when a few started needing Json it made more sense to hack in support for that and move on to the next thing. My controller routes POST requests to a parameterless method that looks at the Content-type header and calls an appropriat...		1152	0	8/10/2023 12:25 PM by Tim Nixon
Using dependency injection in a controller class Started By Michael Tobisch Hi all, how can I use dependency injection in a controller class (of a Webforms module) in DNN 9.8.0 What I am trying to do is using IEventLogger (instead of EventLogController) in a Scheduler client. Something like IEventLogger _eventLogger = DependencyProvider.GetRequiredService(); in the constructor. Any help is appreciated. Happy DNNing! Michael	8	4336	3	11/11/2020 4:04 AM by Michael Tobisch
MVC Module Won't Add to Page on DNN 9.9+ Started By Will Strohl I have an open-source MVC module that won't add to the page on Platform 9.9 and higher. I don't see any errors anywhere at all. It just refreshes the page when you expect to see the 'tile' to drag around the theme. I think I heard someone say that an empty business controller class can cause that. I tried removing it and installing/upgrading, but I have the same issue after removing it. A link to the issue is below. I'm happy to do the work. I just need a bit of help trying to fi...		714	1	7/16/2023 9:45 PM by Will Strohl
