I have studied several module tutorials published by Shaun, Michael Washington, Vladan, Seabury Design, etc. and conclude that if I wish to make my own modules, I will need CodeSmith. So here I am, loaded with the latest trial version of CodeSmith and the latest DNN 4.0.3 starter kit. My problem is that the scripts for CodeSmith I downloaded from DNN Jungle seem to be for ASP .Net 1.1 and not 2.0.  Are there any Code-Smith templates available for ASP .Net 2.0?  I am not knowledgeable enought to recognize the errors I 'm getting with the current templates nor how to fix them. 

As far as the new Module Wizard goes, it's lacking the ability to choose your own database to generate the necessary files for you (like CodeSmith does).  I hope 4.1 has some improvements in this arena.

I struggled with this at first as well.  You really do not need CodeSmith.  I went that route as well after starting with Michael Washington's tutorial and realized I could do without it in the end.  I did his tutorial in C# though, which made it even more difficult to get going, but then went on to create my own modules; some very extensive (and still WIP but functioning well). 

It's daunting at first, but once you get past the DAL structure, it is pretty simple although somewhat tedious.  Think reusability and make sure you understand the core model of web user controls in .net.  I've already re-engineered some thigns several times since I found they were repeating, and improved my code in the process. 

If all else fails, use one of hte older DNN versions using .Net 1.1, and use the CodeSmith.

Thanks for the reply.  I may not need CodeSmith but it sure makes creating stored procedures easy. The extent of my module creation is Shauns example. The unfortunate thing is, it is limited to a single table. My needs span multiple tables to display results and there is no tutorial for that. I'm anticipating version 4.1 to see if Shaun accompanies it with yet another great tutorial or at least a continuation.
