Free Tutorial: Automating Visual Studio 2005 for DNN Module Development 
Modified By Douglas Vogel on 7/17/2006 2:59:11 PM)

Tired of always running those SQL scripts to register your new DotNetNuke Modules?  Here's how to automatically do those tasks, and a lot more.  Visit the Visual Studio 2005 Tutorial here.

Re: Free Tutorial: Automating Visual Studio 2005 for DNN Module Development 
Doug,

First let me thank-you for the macros.  Very nice addition to the DNN developer's toolkit and much appreciated.

however, I am having a bit of trouble getting it to work with VS2005 and I was hoping you might steer me in the right direction.  Basically, it appears that my module folders are being produced outside of the DNN starter kit folder and that is casuing an error with the macros.

Everything is fine up until the part where it tries to switch focus and then I get the "hresult" error from (as best as I can tell) the fact that the module template folders are not created inside the starter kit folder.  Is there somethign I misssed in your step-by-step instructions perhaps?

I was trying to "cheat" and just use the macros with minor mods.  Or is there some environment setting I missed in the details.  i will try to troubleshoot further, but I thought perhaps you might have traveled this path already.

thanks again for this time saver,

-eric

You are correct being non-optimistic on success with minor mods (so be reluctant in trying that.)  The “Automating 2005 VS Pro Tutorial” is meant to be a learning experience and if you master what’s going on inside the code, it helps you realize how these things could be further useful as you do more  work.
So what I have so far with the Tutorial is mainly an introduction.  Now I am watching to see what level of interest there is - I won't add anymore if none is there. 
If interest level warrants, I might add more to the current tutorial, by showing how to automate common DotNetNuke code building tasks. 
It will be simply to continue, because after the “introduction”, your VS macros now know the
names of your view, edit, settings, resource files, etc.  These additional macros can then be exchanged/shared between developers.  Then presumably "free macros" could be offered as well as "free modules" between users.
 
So if you're having trouble, try first to manually create using Shaun's post.  Then run the macros.  Try running the Test_002() macro in the download.  This is the folder where the module will be created (not the same as where the starter kit location is).  You'll see the macro doing the same things that you do with the keyboard - and a little more.  Your macros will work because they only do the same things that you do via keyboard.

Thank you for your tutorials on DNN!

Like emaynard, "Everything is fine up until the part where it tries to switch focus and then I get the hresult error" (invalid arg error) due to the following line:

DTE.ActiveWindow.Object.GetItem(myprojectname).Select(vsUISelectionType.vsUISelectionTypeSelect)

However I followed the instructions very closely. Even in Test_002, I selected AssemblyInfo.vb in the Solution Explorer, ran Test_002, and got the hresult error. The selected item did not change focus ...

myprojectname is evaluated to my project directory, equal to the first line in the Solution Explorer
DTE.ActiveWindow.Object evaluates to {System.__ComObject}
The trouble seems to be the GetItem method not defined.

I'm using Visual Web Developer 2005, Version 8.0.50727.42 on .NET 2.0.50727.

Any help ? 

Any work around? maybe some "help" by preselecting the project with the mouse?
