DNN Blog

A few weeks ago (heck it’s been a couple of months now, my how time flies) I put together a couple of blog posts about module development using the WAP project type. They were how to setup your environment, how to customize a visual studio template, and how to use NANT to automate packaging of your projects. Well, it took me some time but I finally got a VB.Net template together using the same approach as my C# template. I’ve also put together a new C# template (with a minor change to the location of the uninstall.sqldataprovider file). If you are looking to get started with DNN module development be sure to check out the posts! Be sure to read those three original blog posts, you’ll get some good info on how to: If you missed the free Basic Module Development webinar I delivered a couple of weeks ago, check out the video from that to get you jump started with some module development. You can get the two free templates from codeplex. I’ve been told these templates will work in VS2008 Express, though I haven’t tested them myself. I also believe that these will work in VS2010 if you want to try them there as well. One question that comes up when I talk about the Templates that I’ve created is why they aren’t in the DotNetNuke Starter kit that you can download from Codeplex. I intend for them to be rolled into that package, but they didn’t make it into the upcoming DNN 5.5 release, I hope to get them into a future release here soon. I’m also working on a sample project for DNN restful web services for some demonstrations for the St. Louis Hackathon (you can watch and enter the contest even if you aren’t in St. Louis!), it will be hosted on codeplex as well. I hope to have some of that sample code (developed using the C# template of course) on Tuesday.

For VS 2010 in the build file change the MSBuild location from

Leigh, send me whatever you're trying to post, it's getting stripped from the comments.

Re: New release, VB.Net DNN module development template
Chirs, I thought that might be so, so I blogged about it www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/Blogs/tabid/825/EntryId/2749/Continuous-Integration-Scripts.aspx

Re: New release, VB.Net DNN module development template
Hi Chris,
I got you C template to work fine.
The VB template says I need to run VS2010 in admin mode.
When I do that It creates the project but It will not build,
lots of not defined errors such as.
Error 44 Type 'IPortable' is not defined.
Did you try it in VS2010?

Hi Chris,
I almost have it. The project builds succesfully in VS2010 but fails in Nant with the following:

[exec] vbc : Command line error BC2026: warning number '42354' for the option 'nowarn' is either not configurable or not valid
[exec] vbc : Command line error BC2026: warning number '42355' for the option 'nowarn' is either not configurable or not valid
[exec] Done Building Project "C:\inetpub\dnndev\DesktopModules\SicamTest21\SicamTest21.vbproj" (default targets) -- FAILED.

globalization issues with template dev environment
hi,
thank you for a great starter with this vb.net template. i would like to make others aware that with the way the dev environment it setup they will find issues with globalization (date formatting) if you are non en-US. although the dnn instance web.config is set to have the cultures as en-GB when i print out the actual culture used by the new module i get a surprise - it's en-US. i used the following server side code in the markup to print it out:-System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DisplayName
System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture.DisplayName
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture.DisplayName
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.DisplayName
all showed as english US although the dnn site was running with UK culture settings.
I have used a work around which sets the cultureinfo programmatically within the view.ascx page_init routine while the http context is set as debug (it won't be run in compiled released code). If others have found a better solution please do post.
