Help compiling solution from command line? 

Hi All,

I would greatly appreciate anybody's help in this area.  I am a huge fan of DotNetNuke and I have 3.2.1 up and running fine in IIS on my local machine.  I am trying to make a quick modification to one of my DesktopModules .vb file and need to do a quick compile but I don't know if that is possible with using the vbc compiler from the command line.  If anyone could help me with this I would greatly appreciate it.  I probably could have saved myself tons of time and greef by just breaking down and buying Visual Studio .net but I just can't justify it for wanting to make a quick mod.

Thanks in advance for any support!

Re: Help compiling solution from command line? 

moriii,

Ah, been there...

There is no real easy way to compile the DNN solution using VBC alone.  Believe me, we've tried to keep a simple vbc and rsp procedure available, but it's just not possible.  Now, the alternatives are out there, and as a handcoder who came to DNN a couple of years back, I used Nant until recently.  Nant is a simple compile tool that can be used to compile the DNN solution with an appropriate build file, which is similar to rsp type files.  There was another free .Net compiler out there #develop, I believe, but I've never used it.

I've not used Nant to compile DNN recently, as I was lucky enough to get a free copy of VS2005 at the recent round of MSDN seminars, and had a freebie copy of VB.Net 2003, but I see a Nant build file in the root DNN folder of my local install, so it should be possible to do.  I'd suggest getting the Nant distribution and work through it, building some examples, then try it with DNN. The quicker, but more expensive route is to get vb.net std and you'll be able to do it, if you can afford the whole VS app, it would be the ideal, as some modules are written in C#.

Re: Help compiling solution from command line? 

iwonder,

Thank you very much for your reply.  Well, I have finally decided to take the leap and I broke down and purchased VS .net 2003 Professional and set it up for overnight delivery.  With any luck I will have it up and running by tomorrow.

Thanks again for your reply.
