I've downloaded and installed a localhost version of 4.6.2 with source. I've been walking through the features as Admin and Host to better understand DNN capabilities. I tried to run a build and get the following errors (can't compile). The source version I downloaded doesn't have a Gallery module. Any ideas?

I think I"m not understanding something very basic. I'm evaluating DNN for a nonprofit client and need to be sure it can fulfill their requirements. Any clarification would be very helpful.

• I downloaded and installed the DNN Source version but I don't see any of the .vb files. For instance, in Desktop Modules -> FAQs -> FAQ.ascx references Codebehind="FAQs.ascx.vb"  but that's not anywhere in the VS solution. Likewise for other project files. I can't see how we can make changes for our own needs without the codebehind source files.
• We have some custom modules/controls to incorporate into the client's website. They are very specific to the client and we don't want them to be a DNN "custom module". However we do want them within the DNN framework for login/security. How can I do that if we can't rebuild/compile the project?

Here's an example, and I apologize if this post is in the wrong location. Please redirect me to post in the appropriate forum if necessary.

• A SQL table for festival participants with participant details and a "Participant Type" field
• A data entry form for authorized editors to update the table/records
• On the public website (front-end) parts of the table are output based on SQL views/logic. For instance, on a Festival Participant page we show a grid of participants based on a specific "Participant Type" (each grid record goes to a detail page about that Participant pulling data from the SQL table). On another page we may show a different subset of participants. On the main page we show a list of just the latest 5 participants who joined. Normally each of these outputs is a User Control that's placed in the appropriate sections of the website.

So if this makes sense, how can I create these User Controls, compile them and then insert them into a specific website page?

Thanks HTH.  I have ASP.Net 2.0+, VS2005 Professional. Where do I find "DNN4 WAP modules" you mention? Is that an entire VS project/solution I can download and then be able to rebuild? I can work on creating custom modules but still would like to be able to rebuild the application (note original Post and the error I was getting regarding Gallery).

I did experiment with UserDefinedTable a bit and it's great for simple things. I couldn't figure out though how to just display a subset of the table's data based on a specific criteria (e.g. display one subset on Page A of the site and a different subset on Page B of the site, using the same table so as not to manage redundant information).

FYI -- The dotnetnuke.com website has been extremely slow and getting lots of Server Errors and things like "A critical error has occurred. Timeout expired."
