I hope I'm explaining this clearly enough.

I've upgraded a 4.9.x site to 6.2 in 2012 and I've just upgraded again to 7.2, the site runs fine.

But I need to troubleshoot an issue in our implementation of the DNN Users module and since it doesn't compile to a separate DLL, I need to boot the website up to test it.

Converting the old 2008 solution to 2013 doesn't load everything. This should be resolvable by editing the .sln file but I confess have a gap there. :)

The problem is just setting the site up on Local Host where I can bring it up in Visual Studio, debug, make code edits, etc.

Somehow during the conversion something didn't fly right.  Where is there a KB article that covers how to do this successfully?

Thanks!

Let me clarify our Users module is a COPY of the existing (and in play) DNN Users Module.  Some end-users of the site needed some control of user accounts, so a role was established for them to add, delete users, reset passwords, etc.

What has happened, obviously, since it was written in VB / DNN 4.9.x is that being forked off (there's a phrase that needs to be pronounced carefully) it is now out of sync with the current 7.2.x code, now in C#.

The fix was easy even without ASP.Net debugging -- old fashioned debugging worked.  I used the lblChanged.Text property and ferreted my way through the issues.

I should be able to set up a vanilla DNN 7.x site and install the modules in it, for the purposes of having a site where debugging will work.  FYI, the site was handed over to me with 2 ORM tools in it, DNN 4.9.x in May of 2009.  Also ... precompiled code.  Modules had to be made using the traditional 3-tier approach, etc. and the ORM tools were removed when the hop to 6.2 was done 2 years ago.

I know you have no advice for making a hop from VS 2008 to VS 2013 but wouldn't editing the .sln and .proj files be an alternative?  Any KBs on those?

Thanks!
