I am working my  way through the book DotNetNuke 4.0 Web Site Creation in VB 2005 with Visual Web Developer 2005 Express written by Nick Symmonds.

I note I am not the only one, but other posts tend me somewhat old - so I will start a new thread.

I am using DNN 4.5.5, VWD, SQLEXPRESS

All was going well until the sample project says to use images module - I can find no reference to this anywhere. Likewise a contacts module (although there are alternatives to this). I have managed to work around these.

The real stumbler comes in at page 195 however where the book instructs to run some sql from a file timepunch.sqldataprovider - which does not exist ! - yes I have been on the apress site and downloaded source.

The module is created however under 4.5.5 but I cannot install it - As Host I find 'Module Definitions' and can validate the timepunch.dnn module but when I come to 'install new module' I get: INVALID FILE EXTENSION FOR CUSTOM MODULE TIMEPUNCH.DNN. I presume I am doing something crass - any hints anyone?

Can anyone tell me if the book is hereafter total rubbish (and whether that ius true for Nick Symmonds and/or Apress) or am I using the wrong version of DNN

Thanks (in eager anticipation)

Feels like the book is somewhat out of sync with the current DNN version.

But as for files like a timepunch.sqldataprovider - they would be files that should have been supplied or at least explained in the book.
Its not a file that comesith DNN as such.
