Hi,

I just did a quick test install of DNN 454 and noticed that the default HTML module is installed as a source version in App_Code instead of dll. Is there a reason for this?

Thanks,

ah ok, aren't there performance penalties associated with this approach as compared to the compiled one?

Would you mind explaining why this approach was chosen? Because it's more "easy" to change the code?

Thanks again,

Before people get all crazy about that so called "performance penalty", isn't it a fact that the compilation only happens if the code actually changes?  And that only affects initial load time, not the actual module execution after wards.

Also, development in the new ASP.Net 2.0 way is much more simpler than the old way, which you can still do if you are a module developer.  This is a good thing for the community in general, mostly newcomers.  Experienced developers can choose if they want to develop using the new way (VS 2005 Web Site Projects, easier) or the old way (Web Application Projects, harder)
