IProfileModule is an interface designed to allow module developers to create modules displayed on User Profile pages. The primary benefit for using this interface is it exposes the ProfileUserId variable (which is the profile currently being viewed) and it also tells the core framework if the current module should be displayed to the public.

IProfileModule requires the implementation of two read-only properties: A boolean DisplayModule and an integer ProfileUserId.

It is worth noting that this interface is implemented by the ProfileModuleUserControlBase class. Developers who are building non-MVP style user profile modules should inherit from that class and thus (through inheritance) will be implementing IProfileModule. If you are developing an MVP style user profile module, you will not be able to inherit from ProfileModuleUserControlBase and will need to implement IProfileModule directly in your code.

Example Code (VB)

Class Declaration

Partial Class ViewProfile

	Implements IProfileModule

Implementation

Public ReadOnly Property DisplayModule() As Boolean

	Get

		Return True

	End Get

End Property



Public ReadOnly Property ProfileUserId() As Integer

	Get

		Dim UserId As Integer = Null.NullInteger

		If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(Request.QueryString("userid")) Then

			UserId = Int32.Parse(Request.QueryString("userid"))

		End If

		Return UserId

	End Get

End Property

Example Code (C#)

Class Declaration

partial class ViewProfile : IProfileModule

Implementation

public bool DisplayModule

{

	get { return true; }

}



public int ProfileUserId

{

	get

	{

		int UserId = Null.NullInteger;

		if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(Request.QueryString["userid"]))

		{

			UserId = Int32.Parse(Request.QueryString["userid"]);

		}

		return UserId;

	}

}
