I do, and I put it in the Website/bin directory, where all the other .dll files were.

However I had to copy it there manually.  Went I rebuilt the DotNetNuke solution, it put the dll and "pdb" file in Library\Providers\MembershipProviders\AbstractXMLMembershipProvider\AbstractXMLMemberProvider\bin\Debug


With all the other projects that built .dll files, they appeared to automatically get copied from their respective output directories to Website/bin

This process is not impossible now but if you have intentions of attempting to do this and it can hold off I would wait for another core release first.

It meets MS's definitions but the problem is there are some things we had to do to make MS's defintion meet DNN's already existing system.  This is part of the reason for changes it is also part of hte difficulty writing one currently.
 



Well, I see what you're saying, but my question would be: is it going to do me any harm to try and learn how the whole process works?  I mean, as you can see by my difficulties, I don't really even know how I'm supposed to be setting up the project, where the DLLs go, and so forth.  If I could get all that straightened out, then I could tangle with how to actually implement the provider.  If that changes, that's ok.  It's all a learning process for me at this point.  Just learning how all the projects work

So, I'm wondering if someone has some resources on developing providers for DNN...?  In particular, how I'm supposed to setup the projects in VS, and how to setup the web.config to use the new provider.  What I've tried is:

1) Opened DotNetNuke.sln
2) Added new project to solution (added the references I needed, wrote up skeleton provider class, etc.)
3) Rebuilt entire solution
4) Copied resulting dll for the project I added to Website/bin
5) Modified web.config to <add name="AbstractXMLMembershipProvider" type="DotNetNuke.Provider.AbstractXMLMembershipProvider"/>

And I got the error I posted above.

What am I doing wrong?

In case it is helpful, here is the source to my AbstractXMLMembershipProvider

Ok, I made some changes.  I was looking at the existing membership provider and how it is added, and have concluded that:

1) In web.config, the <add/> tag's "type" attribute takes a comma separate value, in which:
  a)The first value is the fully-qualified name of the class
  b)The second value is the name of the dll to load, without ".dll"

Is this right?

Accordingly, I have updated my web,config file:

<add name="AbstractXMLMembershipProvider" type="DotNetNuke.Security.Membership.AbstractXMLMemberProvider, DotNetNuke.Provider.AbstractXMLMemberProvider"/>

And now the error I get is:

Server Error in '/DotNetNuke_2' Application.

If anyone is curious they can download the dll I am trying to use and use reflection to take a look at it.  If there are compile time options I am doing wrong, then perhaps this would be the best way to figure it out.
