I haven't been able to get a C# module to build via the add item then I pick the dnn module and switch the language to c#. It then puts c# files into the app code and other folders inside the dnn project which of course is in vb and that definitely isn't going to compile. Anyone have a link to a C# module walk through? in dnn4!

If you look at the Documentation.html file that opens when you add a Module Item, it notes that you need to add a <codeSubDirectories> node to your web.config in order to get the C# module to build.

As ASP.NET v2 builds an assembly for each page and each <codeSubDirectory> then these assemblies can be in a different language.

To code in C#  You have to do the

1.Create a folder under Desktopmodule

2.Inside the newly created directory add a web user control

3.While adding the web user control select the programming language as visual C#

4.Put the controls in the web user control

5. Double click on the web user control to go to the code window.

6. Add the dotnetnuke name space.

7.Inherit the partial class from DotNetNuke.Entities.Modules.PortModuleBase(Eg: partial class DesktopModules_Jithin_Jithin :

DotNetNuke.Entities.Modules.PortalModuleBase)

8.Write the code to manipulate the user control.

9..Modify the web.confog like this

<codeSubDirectories>
<add directoryName="Your Module Name" />
</codeSubDirectories>

This node is coming under <system.web><compilation>

10. Sometimes you may need to create an empty folder with the same name as the module folder.

11.Build the website.

Now module is ready for installation.

(If you set the security and permissions properly and created a virtual directory you can open the website in browser and

configure it.)
