Hi Mark, Sorry for the delay in responding. I think that link for using codesmith templates is a good place to start if you are building your own modules from scratch. Also read the DotNetNuke Module Development documentation in the download package and take advantage of Michael Washington's tutorials (he had responded in the comments of that post you gave a link to). For #2. If the modules are dynamically compiled at run time you can make your changes to third party modules without even having to set them up in Visual Studio. If they are not, then you should have a project file delivered with your source of the module (if not ask them to provide one). After using the project file, you may need to correct references that are different from their environment as compared to yours. If you run into any of these that you can't get corrected then feel free to ask here on how to resolve them. Developing in ASP.Net is very rewarding, but there is a learning curve much higher than that in a scripting language like classic ASP or PHP. To get a good understanding of the basics I would recommend the videos at http://www.learnvisualstudio.net/ There are also some DotNetNuke module development videos that may help at http://www.dotnetnuke.com/About/TrainingVideos/tabid/810/Default.aspx |
