Hello World,

New to DNN and am using 4.3.something and I want to start developing modules in C#.
I am a bit perplexed how to do this easily given that everything is in VB.
I found an example of a SiteMap written in C# called DnnSiteMap (by BitConstruct??) and had a lot of trouble just taking this source (which had no project file) and integrating it. But here's what I did:

Opened the website for my DNN installation (DNN itself is installed and working fine) in Visual Studio .NET 2005
Copied the files into the /DesktopModules/ folder into a new folder called /DnnSiteMap/ and added the relevant entry into the web.config for this folder. Added a Module definition. It now appears as an available module to add to a page. However when I add it, I get an error indicating that a class does not exist:
"The type or namespace name 'DnnSiteMapController' could not be found"

It so happens that this class is in a seperate code file which sits in the same folder and is in the correct namespace. I have a feeling that I need to be compiling the module seperately somehow. Possibly in its own project?
I'm looking to just start a basic module that doesn't use any new tables; I'd like to write my own SiteMap in C# in a way that I can have the development of the module integrated into the site. That way I can make a minor code change, and rebuild, then test without having to go through a delployment step.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Steven

Thanks!

I was confused by the name "Starter Kit" not realising it was a "Developer's starting kit".
Now that I see how the structure of a module should look like, I was able to get the DnnSiteMap in C# working.
I can start my own module dev now.

Thanks again.
