ProfileModuleUserControlBase is an abstract class under the DotNetNuke.UI.Modules namespace. This class inherits from ModuleUserControlBase and also implements the IProfileModule interface. The primary purpose of this class is to provide module developers with a way to extend the core User Profile page with their own custom modules.

This class provides access to the ProfileUserId being viewed and the DisplayModule variable, which the developer sets, is used by the framework to determine if the module should be shown to the user viewing the page currently. If DisplayModule is set to true, the module will be visible to the user. When set to false, it will not be displayed. If you intend to only show the module to the user if they are the profile owner, you would have some logic like the following:

Return (ProfileUserId = CurrentViewingUserID)

There are multiple DotNetNuke Core/Corporation modules that utilize this class. The one being used for the examples below is the User Profile module available in every install (Community, Pro, Enterprise, etc.).
