The goal is for the single module to work for both versions.  For this to happen it must remain developed for the 1.1 framework version.  The problem w/ this is when trying to track down errors in 4.x, its not something I can debug and step through.  This is definately a difference in the framework, which we experienced with the forum as well.  We will find a fix for this before releasing another version and do testing in 4.x this time.  Last time was a huge dilema but too many users were very upset we went so long w/out a release so I released it anyways.  As for the next version, the team is eagerly awaiting Tam's DAL implementation before further development.

I've been able to get the gallery to work on DNN 4.0.2 but it wasn't an easy task. 

I ran into alot of problems because I wanted to be able to compile the module under the new programming model VS2005 introduced with the App_Code folders.  And 400+ changes later :) I was able to get it to compile.  All the functions I use are working but there where some things that I know dont work in the version that I modified (like changing the Owner from admin to anything else, or trying to change from the default 'dotnetnuke' skin)

Anyways, what fixed the error for me on the cannot cast from default.aspx to container error was modifing this line from:

Dim mContainer As DotNetNuke.Modules.Gallery.Container = CType(Me.BindingContainer, DotNetNuke.Modules.Gallery.Container)

to

Dim mContainer As DotNetNuke.Modules.Gallery.Container = CType(Me.NamingContainer, DotNetNuke.Modules.Gallery.Container)

I belive there was 3 places I had to change that.  I am also not sure of the side effects from changing that but atleast its working now :)

I'm a little hesistant to make the modified source available as that could create a nightmare for the devs.  However; If any of the Project Team members want a copy of the source just send me an email at brandon (at) microbolt (dot) com.

If any want to see it up and running on DNN 4.0.2 here is the link:

hey microbolt, would you consider zipping up just the re-compiled files to let others test on 4.0.2 without redoing what you have done? Either way, no worries, we understand, thanks kindly, drew..
