The "How to Create a Basic Module" document doesn't have these declarations:

/// <summary>

/// The landing page id.

/// </summary>

private readonly Guid landingPageId = new Guid("13FA3CB0-6F00-4DFB-A534-28EA60252A16");

/// <summary>

/// The sub page id.

/// </summary>

private readonly Guid subPageId = new Guid("A52C36E1-3D29-4F39-BB8D-BB1F064E556A");

but the sample code does. They're obviously important because the code doesn't run without them. I'm wondering though how you came up with those ID's. Can we use any hex that matches that format? What's the background to these and how do we create new ones (maintaining some form of consistency) for new modules?

Hello Chris,

These are randomly generated guids. There is a Visual Studio tool that you can use to generate random guild. The idea here is to set parent and landing backend pages with unique IDs.

All the best,
