DotNetNuke Modules – Anatomy of the View

Now that we’ve laid the foundation of DotNetNuke modules, it is time to start looking at the specific modules. While it would be practically impossible to cover every detail and every API feature of a DotNetNuke component, we do want to look closely enough that you know what you are looking at as you are trying to write your code.
