Hi All,

I have a question for you module developers out there:

How do you make your compiled modules work on multiple versions of DotNetNuke?  I have a component that I'm building and I'm compiling it against DotNetNuke 4.9.0, however, I know that it will work in 4.8.x because all of the functions that I'm calling are still there.  However, when I try my component in a 4.8.x site, I get this error:

error BC32206: Indirect reference is being made to assembly DotNetNuke version 
4.9.0.85, which contains 'PowerMenu.TabTree.Tab'. This Project references a 
prior version of DotNetNuke version 4.8.2.0. To use 'PowerMenu.TabTree.Tab', you 
must replace the reference to DotNetNuke with version 4.9.0.85 or higher.

Does anyone know how to add a reference to just "DotNetNuke" instead of "DotNetNuke 4.9.0.85"?  I tried turning off "Specific Version" in Visual Studio, but that didn't change things.

Any ideas?  Do you just always build against the oldest version of DotNetNuke that you support?

Hi Tony,

In your VS project tree, go to References and select the DotNetNuke.dll reference.  Then in the Properties Windows make sure Specific Version is set to False.

Thanks,

Mike

Tony,

The best practice to really ensure that you don't have issues is to build your module against the MINIMUM supported version.  For example all of my modules are built against 4.6.0.

Tony - A quick suggestion here. 

If you're looking for a broader level of input on this module/component/menu (you appear to keep posting about it) why not consider uploading it to CodePlex like so many others in the DotNetNuke community have done with their code?  Not only would you have the benefit of generating much more feedback, but also, a deeper understanding of licensing, issue tracking, and release scheduling.  It would also avoid each individual interested user from having to email you for a !BETA! copy.
