I'm converting some things to C#, but I'm getting a blow-out on the Global.asax.cs file... when I change this:

Private Sub Application_Start(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
    If Config.GetSetting("ServerName") = "" Then
        ServerName = Server.MachineName
    Else
        ServerName = Config.GetSetting("ServerName")
    End If
End Sub

To this:

private void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    if (Config.GetSetting("ServerName") == "") {
        ServerName = Server.MachineName;
    } else {
        ServerName = Config.GetSetting("ServerName");
    }
}

 

Which is the same freekin code... it just doesn't see the "ServerName" property in C#. What is this property anyway? Why does VB know what it is, but C# doesn't? There is nothing in the VB code that ever says what the thing is supposed to be, which is part of the problem with VB in the first place...

it's nothing to do with vb/c# differences, ServerName is a public property defined in the globals module of the class library project (see Library\Components\Shared\Globals.vb)

Further to Cathal's comment, ServerName is a public property of Globals, in the DotNetNuke.Common namespace. Had you converted Components\Shared\Globals.vb you would notice that ServerName would be available and in scope as

public string ServerName {
  get { return _ServerName; }
  set { _ServerName = Value; }
}

Which is the same freekin code... it sees the "ServerName" property just fine in C#. This is a public property of Global as String type. VB or C# both know what it is when it is defined properly. There's nothing in your C# code that says what the thing is supposed to be, which is part of the problem in the first place.

That's the thing with C# folks, they do everything backwards. <chuckle>

I never converted globals.vb. I'm not working from the source code version. Should be able to subclass it anyway... I think it might be easier to just do my AssemblyInfo in VB... that was the issue that started this in the first place. AssemblyInfo and Global.asax apparently have to be the same language.

Oh duh... I forgot you can just do this:

<codeSubDirectories>
    <add directoryName="MyModuleName" />
</codeSubDirectories>

...and it no longer requires the things to be in the same language...
