Has ANYONE got C# to function in 4.3.5?? If so, do you mind telling me how?

I have installed it and I can create a new C# module but when I try to compile - DNN bombs.

Thanks in advance

 

There is one thing that springs to mind that you need to do in order to get different languages to work together in a VS52005 web project.  You must define the subdirectories in your App_Code folder in the web.config. The modules I created in 4.3.5 were created from existing 3.3.5 modules using the Module Upgrade Wizard, which automatically inserts those confg tags.  I don't know if the templating does that for you or not.

In the <compilation> tag, there is a <codeSubDirectories> tag.  Inside of that tag, there should be an example commented out, but you need to put <add directoryName="[directoryName]"/>.  For example, in your app_Code folder, you have a CSharpModule folder, then you need:

<compilation>
...
    <codeSubdirectories>
       <add directoryName="CSharpModule"/>
    </codeSubDirectories>
</compilation>

If that isn't your problem, a specific error message could be very helpful.  Good luck!

Hi,

If you can log in as Admin and view the log and if there is one, post it here for us to have a look.
That would be helpful.
Also did the c# module work in 4.3.4 for you?
If it did work then there is not much of a major diff between versions.
To confirm that for yourself, get a hold of a free copy of winmerge from here http://winmerge.org/
and compare the 2 source directories of 4.3.4 and 4.3.5 if there are no major differences.
you have your answer.

Also if templates dont install in vs, no big deal.
Extract the module_cs.zip from this folder \DotNetNuke 4.3.5\DotNetNuke_4.3.5_StarterKit
and manually copy them over to your web and rename folders as needed.
Template starterkit is nothing but a zip file packaged with a vscontent file in it, it's usually installed in this location

C:\Documents and Settings\<yourname>\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Templates\ProjectTemplates

You can create templates on your own. open any project in vs 2005 and on the file menu click export template.. and follow prompts, then navigatet to the destination folder and see it. you will be suprised.
see this article How to: Create Project Templates http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/xkh1wxd8.aspx

As for c# modules working in 4.3.4
YES it does visit my site and see the "Get Inspired" tab, its completly done in c#.
I will try it out in 4.3.5 and post my findings here.
