Hello All,

I am little new to module development; I am using christoctemplate.codeplex.com as module development template and want to use the same to produce 6 user controls.

Basically I want to develop wizard type pages and the logic is pertain to 6 different user controls, for that I have decided to use christoctemplate; I have develop basic module using the same that contains three user controls (1 for View; 2 for setting; 3 for edit) and I am able to install it success fully.

Now I want to add more user controls in this module (one for each steps); I am able to add them in project and build but when I install the package the module don't show option to chose which user control to display when adding to page.

I know that I need to add them in Modules.DNN (DNN Manifest file) but I don't know how? At present the file looks like following.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Best Regards, Jigar

Hello Mitchel Sellers,

Thanks for your reply. Can you please update above DNN file to add more than one user control. e.g in DNN 3.0 manifest you can do this using following. (I Found it in blog module)

My requirement is one module contains multiple user controls. Please provide help on that.

Thanks,

Jigar
