I need to write a simple module that deals with currency conversions.

All the currencies, exchange rates and stored procedures already exist in my database.

I have created my new module called CurrencyConverter.

My question is do I still need to keep the standard tables, SP's and functions that are automatically created for my by the starter kit?

I am referring to the following functions in the App_Code/CurrencyConverter/CurrencyConverterController.vb & DataProvider.vb & SQLDataProvider.vb

Hope this all makes sense

• GetCurrencyConverters
• GetCurrencyConverter
• AddCurrencyConverter
• UpdateCurrencyConverter
• DeleteCurrencyConverter

What about the optional Interfaces also created in App_Code/CurrencyConverter/CurrencyConverterController.vb

• GetSearchItems ImportModule
• ExportModule
•  

I don't need to store any data when the module is in use, but are these tables needed by DNN to control the module?

As fooberichu mentioned you can remove anything and everything that you need.

The template projects created by the VS templates are just that.  They are designed to provide you with a "general" layout that you can use to build a module, but it is very possible that you will need to clear out a large amount of stuff that is not needed due to your specific implementation.

The optional interfaces, if not needed should be removed as well, this prevents extra overhead from impacting DNN.
