The DotNetNuke 4 Module Developer's Guide is in 2 parts but the 2nd part just contains the code samples. All examples are in VB and C#. You can download the guide at this link.

Holy cow..! that's a lot of documentation thanks Michael!
I look forward to reading this from cover to cover.

One minor thing in a later version, would it be possible to investigate having a seperate VB and C# version (or I wonder in Acrobat whether you could get it to show/hide defined text via a single click).

Maybe you could merge both part 1 and part 2 together this way.

Cheers!

Keeping the versions of VB.Net and C# together might be chance to reduce prejudices. It shows that the code still remains the same :-)

Hi, thanks for this doc.

I would like to learn how code module. I was very surprised by your documentation, because you don't use the starterkit, and when I saw the Part 2 I was affraid by the number of lines code in order to make a simple module as Survey.

Where is the C# Compiled Module template? The screensnap in the guide shows it, but it does not exist in the Starter Kit download.

Prejudices?

Everyone knows Cobol rocks alright?! :)

Seriously the reason why I would like to view them seperately is that looking at two different styles of code can distract from the eye somewhat. I wonder if that's a macro in the PDF that can hide the appropriate sections of text.

Cheers

Re: The DotNetNuke 4 Module Developer's Guide has been released

Hi Michael thanks. I (and some others in the community) have one particular problem in DNN4 development. Basically the problem is explained in this thread: http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/ForumsDotNetNuke/tabid/795/forumid/111/threadid/91268/threadpage/1/scope/posts/Default.aspx

b.t.w. I followed your steps with a new project (basically I tried to include the DNN URL control in my source code ... i just copied it as part of my code and changed the method ShowControls as public).

Basically what happened it that with source code it works BUT with compile (i and my collegue followed it 10 times or more) we have problems.

IF I put c:\compiled as my DNN installation it works (in c:\compile there is app_global.asax.dll)

BUT when I package it and then I install it in a normal DNN installation then I get that app_global.asax.dll not found. Obviously if i copy app_global.asax.dll then the system says I have defined the controls more than once.

thanks!!

Ah... this is great. Instead of saying "Why didn't anyone tell me that before?!" I now say.... "Oh, Look what they say about this!"

Re: The DotNetNuke 4 Module Developer's Guide has been released

Hi. Thanks for posting valuable information..

But could you please let me know, what name should I give while creating.

For example, when you add a new module the name field is displaying as "module." In this case, what name should I give..

I have given.."MyModule.dnn". Is this correct?? Please help me with this
