Hi!

I'm using VS2010 to create a new and simple DNN 6.0 module.I tried to install it by creating a zipped 'package' to install.

When I install, and try to use the new module, it throws and exception and tells me my ascx file is missing. I check, and sure enough, all of the ascx files are missing. How do I create the zip package to install the module so that DNN 6 actually finds the ascx file?

In the zip, I tried to :
1. have the ascx files in the root folder of the zip.
2. have the ascx files in a Resouce dir in the zip file
3. have the ascx files in a Resource.zip file in the install zip.


Any help appreciated.

If you're working locally - what I always do (habit) is go to the Module Definitions (Host - Extensions) page and create the package from there.  There's a good wizard that'll walk you through - you just need to be sure you type in your dll names and away you go.

ok - i figured it out - the template should be updated though. It's missing the three ascx files that are placed in your project by default. I had to add them in the Files section manually.

thanks for your help.
