ok, I am confused. I want to use the source files to do an installation and be able to build a web site from that once I modify some of the core files. This is what I have done so far:

used vs2005 with sql 2005 express  to install the DNN application framework application. That works great but it's not connected to the source files at all (is it??). I want to be able to debug the core files so I can step through them and learn where things are make changes and publish them to a production site at some point. I have tried opening the files in the source but it says can't find project dotnetnuke_2 but I have a vs2005 web site called dotnetnuke_2. Can any one please tel what I am doing wrong. Again, I would like to open the source zip project in vc 2005 which contains the DNN solution file, the library file, and the web site file. I then want to make needed ajustments and learn the flow of things and compile this project to a production site. Sorry for going on but I am really confused. Any help would be great. Thanks, VC
