Controls not showing up... 

I finally got through all my compilation issues and have started my first module using DNN 3.2.2.  I used the DNN template from DNN Jungle to create the project.

Everything compiles fine, and I added the definitions for the module and its comtrols.  When I try to put the module on a page, the module simply doesn't show up.  The log says that thte module was created, I don't see any errors in the log, and nothing visible indicates a problem.  I verified that I have the definitions pointing to the right ascx files. The module right now has no VB code in it other than what the template provided (implementations, default functions, etc...), just a little HTML so I can see if everything is OK up to this point.

I have a feeling I'm just missing something simple.  I'm using the book "Building Websites with VB.Net and DotNetNuke 3.0"  published by PACKT as a reference, and as far as I can tell, I've done everyting right.  I wonder if there is an extra step in 3.2.2 that the book is not covering.  I've checked the docs provided by DNN ("DotNetNuke Module Developers Guide"), and although it gives extensive background on the DNN framework, it doesn't really explain how to add a simple "Hello World" module.

Any ideas on what I may be missing?

Thanks,

Davey

Re: Controls not showing up... 
It's really hard to say without knowing what you've got, exactly.

Is there Any content in the module's display Usercontrol? When I first started with my BookList module, it had 'This is where my list will display' in bold as the usercontrol so that something would display. It's possible a module doesn't display properly if there's nothing in it's control?

Re: Controls not showing up... 

Thanks for the response.  I had a devil of a time wading through all the providers and controllers and directors and coppers and robbers and all that stuff.

When it came down to it, the problem was that I didn't have all of the the "mustoverride" functions overridden, causing something to blow up.  I really don't remember what exactly the problem was, but I remember that being the crux of it.  Once I got through all that, I was pretty much OK.

Thanks, though!

Davey
