I'm running the latest source of DNN on my dvelopment machine (4.4.1) and I am able to develop my modules without any issues. I currently use the "DotNetNuke Compiled Module" option when adding a new module to the source solution.

One of the issues I have is that if it's compiled with DNN 4.4.1 as the DNN reference (whether its a project ref or not), using the module on any site prior to 4.4.1 throws an error.

Whats the best practice to target a module for any 4.xx version (and even 3.xx for that matter)..

Thanks in advance for any replies.

I use NAnt for production builds and reference the minimum version of DNN the product supports. I keep a separate folder of compiled dependencies. Make sure to set the revision number to 0 (AssemblyInfo.vb) in any DNN projects you reference. Our product actually requires separate builds for DNN 3.0,3.3+,4.0,4.3+.

During development I reference whatever version of DNN I’m working with. Our NAnt build scripts don’t use the visual studio project files so we don’t have to worry about breaking production builds when we upgrade our development build.

Even with automation it can be very tedious to upgrade the development environment when a new version of DNN is released. I typically use WinMerge to figure out what changed since the previous release.

I agree with Brian...

Till in development, I work with the version which is my current development enviroment. When packaging, or deploying to a package, depending on the situation I either leave it with that version, or if I need to support previous versions I compile it against an earlier version of DNN.

As for the development enviroment... The one I designed suits me very well, and lets me rather easily move through various development enviroments (it's just xcopy with database objects copy and re-executing the .dnn file).

 

Thanks,
