Dear DNN Guru

Recently I develop a module for Dnn 8.0.4. I want to get other modules data, so that I use "modulecontroller.getmodulesettings(ModuleId)" . This "ModuleId" is other Module's ID.

But When I Debug the Mogule, I got modulecontroller.getmodulesettings(int) deprecated in DNN 7.3.  I am not sure what the API in new DNN should be use.  Please help me !  Thanks in advance !

Jimmy,

I am not a guru, but the "new" way is this:

<code>ModuleInfo module = ModuleController.Instance.GetModule(int moduleId, int tabId, bool ignoreCache);<br /> Hashtable settings = module.ModuleSettings;</code>

Happy DNNing!
Michael

OK, note that the message is a warning, not an error. Deprecated means that the API works in 8.0.4, but that there is a more modern one, the one that Michael (though I didn't check it).

In the DNN 9.x releases, many (LOTS!) of deprecated APIs are removed and only the supported ones will remain. You can check but I think that this starts happening at 9.3.2 or around there. Read the release notes.

So, the bottom line is that your module should work as written, but now is a good time to replace deprecated APIs with those that aren't deprecated. That way you'll not have problems going forward.

Also, if this module is not installed as a compiled module it's a good time to do that, too!
