With this sample, you learn to use the following APIs related to module providers:

  3. Get the default provider

  1.  To get all sites, use the GetSites() method and create a new SiteRegion class for each ISite returned by it.
  2. To get the active modules in your Sitefinity CMS instance, use the ActiveTypes method, then get the name of their modules, and finally - filter out the distinct names of the modules.
  3. To obtain the list of providers activated in a site, use the GetProviders method with the names of the dynamic modules obtained in the previous step.
