Question

Is it possible that i can i place a check in my module code seeing where my module is installed. (contentpane or rightpane or leftpane).

Basically if it is installed in the left or right pane i want to bring only 3 records to the display in my gridview and if it is installed in contentpane i want to bring all the records to the display in my gridview. is it possible? maybe can someone share any different technique by which i can achieve the above scenario in my module code.

2) how can i get the module id by only modulename in my c# code?

Answer 1

You have a variety of options that I think would be better than having the module try to figure out what pane it is in:

1. You add a setting where admins could specify the number of records to display
2. You could do the above and add a Pager to it so users could get to additional records
3. You could make your module a fixed height and set overflow:hidden or auto so users could scroll within the module.
