This is because you will require the customer to know more about SQL Server and .Net development than they should.  Also, they will need to touch more than a typical module.  A module built the typical DNN way can just be installed, and your customer and use it right away.  With SubSonic modules, they will need to first do one or more of the following:

  1. Download the module
  2. Unzip the module
  3. Read the installation documentation
  4. Create a database
  5. Run a database creation script
  6. Modify the Web.Config
  7. Build SubSonic against the database
  8. Install the module

When your typical DNN module customer buys a module, they expect to do one or more of the following:

  1. Download the module
  2. Unzip the module
  3. Install the module

I am sure that you can see the difference.  This is not even mentioning that each time you buy a different SubSonic module from a new vendor, you would need to find a way to merge the different SubSonic databases on your own.

These are my personal opinions and don't necessarily represent the views and opinions of DotNetNuke Corporation.

Actually, I think I disagree. You can create a project with SubSonic outside of the DNN development and package it all up as one .dll that you can use as part of your module. Jim Bonnie (walkspoiled.com) and Kenneth Courtney (aciasoftware.com) have posted ways to instantiate the providers without requiring web.config modification. With those options, I don't see why the download/unzip/install process would be any different.

Perhaps I'm missing something?
