I have attempted to build my install of DNN in Visual Studio 2012 (DNN version07.02.01)

but I get this single error that prevents a clean build.

 '[OWNER].[MODULE].[CONTROL]' is not a valid value for attribute 'classname'.

the error is in template.ascx in desktopmodules/admin/modulecreator/templates/c#/module - inline script

how do I remedy this? what should this  value be?

I'm guessing that you're trying to do a build on the website directly - this is not necessary as the website only contains background compiled files and (already compiled) dll's - if you take a look at a source release you'll notice that both the debug and release builds do not have the website set to build in the configuration manager for this reason. The only valid reason to build a website is if you are trying to do a "publish website" -however DNN doesn't support this (or at least didn't -due to the use of some inline constants)

Note: you can also simply right click the file name(s) in vs.net and select "exclude from project"

I'm new to DNN and learning that a lot can be done without needing to develop code.  As a developer, I was trying to compile things so I could publish/deploy.  Thanks for stating that the web site doesn't need to be compiled and that the deploy has some issues.

FWIW - dnn does not need to be compiled OR deployed.   The install.zip package contains all that is needed to deliver a fully configured dnn website.

Also its not that DEPLOY has issues - its not required or supported - the dnn website core is based on WSP - which is effectively a dynamic compile at run time - trying to package and deploy that sort of system is not "by design for asp.net systems" - and as such is not really supported.

In particular - dnn for example uses a system of dynamic resource files that can be edited at runtime or turned on and off and even redirected to other resource files.   This is the mechanism that dnn uses for multilingual site transformations.  If you try to compile/deploy - asp.net will want to try and compile those resource files - which moves the location they are stored.  BUT dnn needs them stored in their original locations so that it can do language mapping.
