Hi Chiefs,

 I have been trying to create a custom module, nothing fancy, just a little page to extract some data from the database and show it in the a module of DNN so that I can add it to any page instead of doing an iframe and linking to it. 

http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/14613/Creating-a-Super-Fast-and-Super-Easy-DotNetNuke-Mo

Well practically i followed every step except that i connected via a object data source. 

However after creating the page and dumping all code into it and ensure that there is no error, I tried to build page to which i get no response from Visual studio except for '0 errors', what exactly is supposed to happen? Should that page pop up and function as per the code behind?

Concluding that there were zero errors, I proceeded to make a module and tried to add that to a page to which i get the below error. Any idea why.

Error: View_Dance_Class is currently unavailable. DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\DU\dnn\DesktopModules\View_Class\View_dance_class.ascx.cs(67): error CS0102: The type 'Modules.View_class.ViewView_class' already contains a definition for 'helper' ---> System.Web.HttpCompileException: c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\DU\dnn\DesktopModules\View_Class\View_dance_class.ascx.cs(67): error CS0102: The type 'Modules.View_class.ViewView_class' already contains a definition for 'helper' at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.CompileWebFile(VirtualPath virtualPath) at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.GetVPathBuildResultInternal(VirtualPath virtualPath, Boolean noBuild, Boolean allowCrossApp, Boolean allowBuildInPrecompile) at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.GetVPathBuildResultWithNoAssert(HttpContext context, VirtualPath virtualPath, Boolean noBuild, Boolean allowCrossApp, Boolean allowBuildInPrecompile) at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.GetVPathBuildResult(HttpContext context, VirtualPath virtualPath, Boolean noBuild, Boolean allowCrossApp, Boolean allowBuildInPrecompile) at System.Web.UI.TemplateControl.LoadControl(VirtualPath virtualPath) at System.Web.UI.TemplateControl.LoadControl(String virtualPath) at DotNetNuke.UI.ControlUtilities.LoadControl[T](TemplateControl containerControl, String ControlSrc) at DotNetNuke.UI.Modules.WebFormsModuleControlFactory.CreateModuleControl(TemplateControl containerControl, ModuleInfo moduleConfiguration) at DotNetNuke.UI.Modules.ModuleControlFactory.LoadModuleControl(TemplateControl containerControl, ModuleInfo moduleConfiguration) at DotNetNuke.UI.Modules.ModuleHost.LoadModuleControl() --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

I hate to suggest you start over, but my recommended approach to module development would be to use the templates available here

http://christoctemplate.codeplex.com/ 

Then follow the TaskManager series on module development in the Wiki
