So, I'm learning how to develop modules using this video: http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Resources/Training/Basic-Module-Development.aspx

Everything is going well with my DNN site until now. When configuring the "Web" tab under the project properties I configured the start URL correctly and entered the "Project URL" under "local IIS web server" but then I was asked to create a "virtual directory" something that wasn't in the video and I hadn't been prompted with before with creating this module. Of course, I said "Yes." Right before I went to check these settings, from the moment I created the project to make this module, I couldn't drag and drop any of the objects into view.ascx, for example.

What's weird is I have the DNN Menu as well as log in / register links but no content

and the modules show up like this:

 <td valign="top" width="350"><div id="dnn_RightPane2" class="RightPane2"><div class="DnnModule DnnModule-DNN_HTML DnnModule-425"><a name="425"></a><div id="dnn_ctr425_ContentPane"><!-- Start_Module_425 --><div id="dnn_ctr425_ModuleContent" class="DNNModuleContent ModDNNHTMLC"> </div><!-- End_Module_425 --></div> 

I orignally thought it was the skin but that did nothing when I forced it to use minimal extropy, and I can't even login b/c I can click the login link and get the page but all I get is the title, "Login" without any text fields or buttons...Help? Thanks in advance.

Erik,

Thank you very much that indeed solved it. I did make a typo.

Since we're on this topic and I have your attention...

When I try to drag and drop objects from the toolbox onto the "Design" view tab of view.ascx I get the prohibition sign and can't drop the object onto the page. What gives? I'm running VS 2010 as administrator and can save files.

it's a long shot, but you might have an issue with your anti virus software, see this reference: https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualS...
