Hello,

I have been asked to write a custom module for DNN by my employer. I have never worked with DNN before. I downloaded the source and opened up the SLN for VS2005 / .NET 2.0. Right out of the box I tried to build the project and got 20 errors and 20 more warnings. This doesn't instill a whole lot of confidence in me regarding the DNN product. Can someone shed some light on the situation?

Thanks.

If you are new to DNN Development I don't recommend using the source. You never want to change the DNN Source code. I recommend you start here:

Super-Simple Module (DAL+) (C# and VB)

This will show you how to use the install version of DotNetNuke to quickly create a DotNetNuke module.

There errors do sound like they are probably multiple lost references: "Name 'Config' is not declared" , "Name 'LogException" is not declared" , "Type 'PortalController' is not declared" , "Type 'PortalInfo' is not declared", and on and on. All errors are triggered by the Global.asax file.
