Hello,

I cannot create a DNN module project inVisual Studio 2010.  I have read andwatched tutorials without being able to succeed.  Why does the module project look for http://dnndev/desktopmodules  etc… My website is not under “dnndev”

 Install and configure DotNetNuke 6.2.2

  1. Install package is: DotNetNuke_Community_06.02.02_Install.zip
  1. Unzip install package to: D:\My Websites\dnntest
  1. Configure IIS.
    1. Add website…
    2. Site name: dnntest
    3. Physical path: D:\My Websites\dnntest
    4. Host name: dnntest
    5. App Pool  - .NET Framework: v4.0.30319
    1. Managed pipeline mode: Integrated
  1. Edited: System32\drivers\etc\hosts = 127.0.0.1 dnntest
  1. Set security permissions on D:\My Websites\dnntest = iis apppool\dnntest
  1. Start website: http://dnntest/
  1. Installation wizard: Auto

 

Create a module project in Visual Studio2010

  1. Copied the DNN C# template to D:\My Data\Visual Studio\2010\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual C#\Web\ DotNetNuke C_ Compiled Module.zip
  2. Start Visual Studio 2010
  3. New Project
    1. Web Template: DotNetNuke C# Compiled Module
    2. Location: D:\My Websites\dnntest\DesktopModules\
    3. Name: ModuleTest
    4. .Net Framework 3.5
    5. Unchecked: Create directory for solution
    6. Click OK

 

At this point VisualStudio throws an error popup message, “The Web Application Project ModuleTestis configured to use IIS. The Web server http://dnndev/desktopmodules/ModuleTe...could not be found.”

 

How do I get pastthis error?

 

Thank you!

David

Well, I found a way to resolve the problem and will post it here.  I hope this is not just a hack, so if anyone has a better solution then please let me know.  This works with Visual Studio 2010 and DotNetNuke v6.2.2.

1. Unzip "DotNetNuke C_ CompiledModule.zip" and extract the files.
2. You will see a file called, "ModuleName.csproj".
3. Open this file in Notepad and find “dnndev” in two places.
4. Change it to suit your needs.
5. Save the project file and zip the files back up.
6. Put the zip file into the Visual Studio 2010 template folder as usual.

I have been frustrated that there is no documentation alerting one to edit the Visual Studio project file, because it is not reasonable to assume everyone will host their website at http://dnndev/. I would like to see instructions added to the web page (linked above), "Customizing a Visual Studio Project Template."

I found documentation on how to customize the templates when I was originally deploying.  My problem remains that the http://dnndev site exists and is available, but Visual Studio does not like the address.

Is the URL you are using in your template/projects the root DNN site, or is it something else?

Thanks,

Kyle

I got past it by disabling the virtual tie in the project.  That allowed it to be added to the solution.  I can attach to the correct IIS worker process to debug.  Since deployment really happens at the file system level, the web setting was more flexible.  I do have my site as the custom web server for the project.
