I'm reading through the Prof DNN 4 book.  Chapter 12 p344 mentions that DNN 4.x doesn't include the source code for the modules and to look at the 3.2.x version.  I downloaded the source for 3.3.7 and 3.2.2 and found very little in the solutions and code directories.  Am I safe to assume these releases also don't include the various module sources and I need to download them from their individual project directories?

Is there a brief tutorial about integrating one into an existing site for development so that I don't go about attempting to do it through trial and (mostly) error. 

Thanks in advance.

I found the source, which has changed since the book was published and no real mention of it on the website downloads for us poor saps who are lookin around for it.

But the book is rather cryptic about how to integrate it into an existing dnn project.  There's two sections, one for VS2003 and one for VS2005.  VS2003 has you opening the solutions file for all the modules, and then the VS2005 has you creating a new module from the template.  Chapters 13-15 then focus on the event module as if somehow I had already opened it somewhere else before.

Can someone give a brief step-by-step process to take the events module source downloaded from
 so that I can proceed with Chapters 12 and on?

For the Prof DNN5 book, why don't you just use the chapters to walk through creating a whole new module.  Then maybe do a chapter where you look at an existing one, or vice versa.  Something just isn't puzzling together here into a coherent picture.

If you need the source version for any module you can go to the module project page and download the code. Usually the source version is also provided as and installable module but you can also create the folder on \Desktopmodules and unzip the module there.

I figured that out, there is another thread about how the source files for the modules are no longer packaged in with the original source but yet nobody has made a simple note to mention that on the downloads. 

I downloaded the "source" copied it to it's own folder inthe desktop modules, and when I built the project i got 23 errors. 

I thought I would try creating the events module from scratch based on what's in the book.. But it has code but doesn't explain in what freaking file it belongs in.  For instance page 360, AddEvent Stored Proc, listing 13-1... am I suppose to know what file this belongs to?
