I followed the DotNetNuke Explained: Basic Module Development vid (youtube.com/watch?v=AKCYRPuoXF4).  Using DNN CE v6.2.3 & Visual Studio 2012, I'm able to follow the tut and create/compile a C# module (2.0 framework).  However, I mainly need to create modules in VB.  When I release build the VB project, I consistently get around 27 build errors (see below).  Are there components missing from the VB portion of the template download (http://christoctemplate.codeplex.com) or does the VB portion require additional tweaks to make it work?  Please advise.

Errors:

Update... the VB portion of the template DOES INDEED work. Somewhere along the way, things went awry for me (much to my own demise I'm certain). I started this time from scratch using baby steps, making sure to stay on course (use the same IIS path, framework, UNBLOCK the zips, etc etc). Right off the bat I was trying to customize the whole process (environment & custom template) to my liking which resulted in getting lost in the wind.

Best regards.
