Starter Kit

Is it supposed to be built?

Is it supposed to be published?

I am having problems about precompiled...
Please give some directions in using Starter Kit in Visual Studio 2005.

Regards,

Re: Starter Kit

DNN does currently not support precompilation, due to issues with App_GlobalResources directory. Regrettably it is not very easy to solve as changing the name of the folder will break modules.

Re: Starter Kit

well, normally in a dev to prod environment, you dont keep building the complete solution (as this never changes because you dont do core modifications anyway.. right?), you just create a module, package it up when its ready and install it in your production environment. For more info on how to create modules, and how to make packages, please take a loot at michael washingtons tutorials: http://www.adefwebserver.com/DotNetNukeHELP/

Re: Starter Kit

Well i am new to DNN, so what i did was...

Download and installed Starter Kit, went to VS2005 and create a new website based on DotNetNuke Web Application Framework ( The only DNN template available in VS2005 )... i execute the publish with the following options:

Allow this precompiled site to be updatable ( FALSE )
Use fixed naming and single page assemblies ( TRUE )
Enable Strong Naming on precompiled assemblies ( FALSE )

Then when i execute the website i follow all steps and after i setup the users passwords and settings it gives me an error related with APP_CODE because the application is pre-compiled or so...

Is this the right behavior to deploy the DNN solution?
Wasn't i suppose to have a DNN module template available?

Regards
