There are three different kind of modules:

DNN3.x modules: They need VS2003 and DNN3.x to compile and debug (even if they run also fine in DNN4.x)

WSP modules: Controls and Code behind, it is the default architecture in ASP.NET2.0. A Web Source Project works with DNN4 and you can develop with notepad or VS Express

WAP modules: Similar to DNN3,x, but based on ASP.NET2.0. These Web Application Projects were introduced with VS2005 SP1. The code behind gets compiled to an Assembly.

I did figure out that the vb files could be attached to the ascx files by changing the ascx's reference to the code from codebehind to codefile. But... just doing this causes a whole other world of errors.

I guess all the development I've been doing has been using WSP. I didn't even realize WAP could be used with asp.net sites any more.

So am I to assume that the core modules are probably all still VS2003 modules? I'm really dreading going back to VS2003 to make the mods I need. Is there an easy way to be able to work on them in VS2005 without having to re-write them?

The features I'm ultimately looking for is to add the following to the Events module:
1. template email that can be selected from a list of them for each event 
2. the ability to schedule multiple reminder emails, for example 3 days before, 2 days before, and the day before the event
3. the email reminders need to include a driving directions link (mapquest, google maps, etc) that pulls the address from the users registration and the event address for source and destination
4. and whatever other crazy ideas my client thinks up

I'm natuarally assuming the easiest way to get these features and whatever else is probably to modify the existing events module.

Chris, all modules with a version number starting with 4. x are ASP.NET 2.0 modules. Download the packages and look inside, if there is an Assembly (*.dll file) inside, it is a WAP module, otherwise it is a WSP.

  • FAQ 4.4.0 for example is a WAP module and you will need at least  VS 2005 proffessional SP1 to change the code.
  • Others like Text/Html or XML are WSP modules.
  • The version number of the last Events module  is 3.3.8, so it requires VS2003 and DNN3 for development.

Makes sense now... I think. I assume most 3rd party modules would be WAPs that compile to dll's so we can't mess with the code without buying the source, eh?

How do I update a WAP module?

Do I need to do something special to it or change some option in VS2005 to be able to work with it?

You will be right, that most of the 3rd party modules will be WAP. The kind of module doesn't matter for installation or update, you use always install module.
