Question

Posting as a reference

when redirecting to custom controls in custom DNN 5 module, I get 

InnerException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Method: DotNetNuke.UI.Modules.ModuleHost.LoadModuleControl
StackTrace:
Message: DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at DotNetNuke.UI.Modules.ModuleHost.LoadModuleControl()
Was it helpful?

Solution

The problem was resolved by making sure that ALL custom controls inherit from PortalModuleBase

OTHER TIPS

To me, it worked when the .ascx.cs control inherit from DotNetNuke.Entities.Modules.ModuleSettingsBase
