Hi, Is this the right place to post this ? I am following the DNN Module Programming book. I downloaded the BlankModuleWithDal and BlankNoDALModule and installed via the vsi. And the regular vsi from the 5.1.4 starter kit. Figure 5-2, but I do not have "C# DNN Module Template" , did I miss something somewhere ? thanks

The C# DNN Module Template from the picture is actually the template provided by www.bitethebullet.co.uk. You can use the Blank Module template with dal from my website.

Yes, I made a test project using the "Blank Module template", it had everything, thanks for confirming that this is in fact the one to use. (Or why would you say to download it -duh - sorry)

Hi, I think I need documentation pertaining to VS2008, DNN 5.1.4 ? 1) I created the project - it ask if I wanted to tie into IIS - I said no. 2) I created a project under the DesktopModules. But when I try to right click on the csproj, I dont get properties ? It comes up as just source. The project looks like its just another folder under DesktopModules ? I made a project for something else a while ago, so I know what your talking to me about the properties comming up interactively ? Wonder if I missed a step ?

Let me be a little more specific. I just tried to recreate the project with the BlankModulewithDal. The location is under my dotnetnuke/desktopmodules where my other modules are. I uncheck create a directory. and clicked OK, I then get the message .... "The local IIS URL http://localhost/mydnn specified for Web project MBS_Tracking has not been configured. In order to open this project the virtual directory needs to be configured. Would you like to creat the virtual directory now?" I selected yes this time and got .... "Creation of the virtual directory http://localhost/mydnn failed with the error" The URL 'http://localhost/mydnn is already mapped to a different folder location"

The project template setup expects you to have a setup with http://localhost/dnn as an DNN installation.

OK, here is what I did. In VS2008, I did File, New, Project. Visual C#, web. I choose "DotNetNuke Compiled Module". After I configured things, this is what I saw .... (This is what I saw in the projectExtentions for GuestBookCS ... True True 0 / http://localhost/dotnetnuke/desktopmodules/guestbookcs False False False This is what I saw in the projectExtensions for myProject ... This is the major difference I saw (62596 ) Looks good to me - what do I know, but I am thinking I can move forward with the next steps to building the module ? This book is excellent - I have read through chapter 8 and I cant tell you how much I see and how much I have learned. It is organized and explains things very, very well. Thanks for your hard work - looking forward to getting my project ready for chapter 9 !!! True True 62596 / http://localhost/myDNN/DesktopModules/myProject True http://localhost/myDNN False False False

Guess this editor chokes on certain characters, oh well, that last post came out terrible, suffice it to say the projectExtensions in my csproj mirrors the guestbookcs csproj.
