Hello Friends,

I am new to DotNetNuke. I wanted to add my own custom code in the Wiki Module. I don't see the code behind files anywhere in the Wiki module.
How can I add my own custom code in the existing Wiki module (Not only in wiki module - any module).

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Sowrirajan

Hi Pingle,

Thanks a lot ...It has helped me to get an idea to write custom code in the existing module.

After installing the downloaded Wiki module I am able to see the code behind files. But, the code behind files show some error on the controls like "Name 'label2' is not declared" but the label2 is defined in the front end (.ascx file).

If I go to design view and double click any controls it generates the server code in the front end page itself (.ascx file) not in the code behind which is declared in the file.

It would be great if you give me some idea on this.

Thanks
Sowrirajan

The Wiki source package appears to be set up as a typical source package and has a solution and project file for Visual Studio 2008 so I'm not sure what is causing code changes to be made in the .ascx file. I have seen cases where the linkage between .ascx, .ascx.designer.vb, and ascx.vb files get mixed up causing DNN user controls such as the dnn:label not to be seen by the code-behind. This is usually due to the Visual Studio project not "seeing" the DotNetNuke user controls due to missing references or an incorrect pointer to the DotNetNuke website in which the project is being developed.

Are you using Visual Studio 2008 or 2010 to edit and re-compile the changes that you have made?

Have you checked that the project's references (in particular to the DotNetNuke.dll asssembly) are properly resolved?

Have you updated the IIS web propertyt settings in the project file to point to the location of the DotNetNuke website being used to further develop the Wiki module?  In the project file included in the Wiki source package, the IIS Project Url points to localhost/dotnetnuke_2/desktopmodules/wiki and the IIS Override Application Root Url points to localhost/dotnetnuke_2. Unless your DotNetNuke development installation is also at localhost/dotnetnuke_2, those two pointers will need to be changed.
