Thanks, I browsed your site again and like what I see.

I'm concerned about required Web.Config entrees. It's no big deal to put Web.config entries in a developement environment but it's a big deal for production since the DNN module Installer does not support web config entries.

Are these web.config entrees required for finished production modules? Workaround?

Right now there is no way to run without the config entries. Although they are trivial, as you noted there is no way to automate these entries through dnn. We are investigating posibilities such as auto detecting a standard dnn connection string entry, and just running that as a fallback mechanism. However, we are just releasing our 1.5 Beta 2, so this will be sometime after that. So in summation, yes we are aware of why this might be less than favorable for dnn usage, and are evaluating our alternatives.

>> evaluating our alternatives

Please consider

A DNN developer can easily retrive wth a line or two of code the SiteSqlServer connection string from the DNN Web.config

There are module deveolpers that in the same module need to access the DNN site database and also need to access other enterprise databases that require a different connection string. Often these connection strings are stored along with the modules other settings in the DNN database.

Thanks,

Bobby

Assuming the second database is also a SQL server and you have already generated your business objects for whatever tables you would like to access you can already pass in a raw connection string to switch dynamically at runtime in code like so:

EntitySpaces Class Library

esConnection.ConnectionString Property

[Visual Basic]
Public Property ConnectionString As String
[C#]
public String ConnectionString {get; set;}

Usage:

EmployeeCollection emps = new EmployeeCollection();
emps.es.esConnection.ConnectionString = " my raw connection string";

emps.LoadAll();


If its a different type of db there are a few other settings such as MetadataMap that would be needed. See here for more information regarding this topic
