Hi,

We have developed a dotnetnuke website(4.4.0) in our development environment.
It consists of mostly the HTML/Text module and some custom modules.
Now we want to deploy the same in production.
For this, we created a new starter site in production and copied all the files from the development to the production.
The html pages were getting displayed correctly - no problems.
We wanted to install the custom modules without exposing the code.
So we followed these steps:
1.Used Publish website to get the dlls
2. Packaged the custom modules with dlls and removed .cs files. Changed dnn file paths that referred the .cs files and replaced them with the dlls.
3. We uninstalled the custom modules which had got automatically installed in production because of copying the files.
4. Removed the custom module from web.config <codesubdirectories>.
5. Used module defintions to install the new module using the .zip file.
6. Installed properly.
7. When we add this module in the page, it gives an error saying it cannot find the ViewModuleName.ascx.cs file
8. Get Module Load exception and cannot find the code behind file.
Can someone provide any help on this as soon as possible?
Thanks

Hi,
I have followed the same steps as mentioned in the tutorials.
But I still get this error:

Complicated... Try using the WAP approach to developing modules (check the link in my sig), it will make your life much easier...
