A question I have been asked many times recently is how do you debug a DotNetNuke module that has been developed using the WAP (Web Application Project) development model.  This is a question that I have known the general answer to for quite some time, but I have never actually had a need to truly debug one of my custom modules.  During the course of helping a client with an issue today I actually took the time to document all steps necessary to debug a WAP DotNetNuke Module within Visual Studio 2005.  This article will walk you through all steps necessary to debug your project.

Today I have released multiple updates and one new DotNetNuke Module.  All of these items are available for free to registered members of this site.  Below you fill find the details for each module.

DNN Expandable Text/HTML Version 1.2.0

This module upgrade was completed to add a new feature and to cleanup some backend processing.  Below is a list of the new features

DNN Text/HTML Replacement Tool Version 1.1.1

This is the first public release of this module, created witht he support of Seablick Consulting, this module allows you to find/replace text within all instances of the Text/HTMLmodule on your portal.  Please see the product page under Tools/Utilities for more information.

DotNetNuke includes 3 separate folder type options for portal administrators.  I have noticed recently that this is a function that not very many individuals were aware of; so I thought I would take the time to quickly explain the differences between the three and when you might use one over the other.  This article wil only cover what the different folder types are and their usage.  Not the actual implementation.
