I have downloaded DNN 3 source and sucessfully built it using vs 2003. Iam able to run and view the website. I want to create custom modules in Desktopmodules located under Dotnetnuke. But Iam not able to view the module in the solution explorer. How can view them ?.

The modules are in a different solution, it should be in the Solutions/DotNetNuke.DesktopModules folder of the website.

Hope it helps,

As you mentioned I noticed that the solution is in solutions folder.How can I add this DotNetNuke.DesktopModules.sln to the Dotnetnuke.sln so that when opening Dotnetnuke.sln through vs 2003 I can view the folders under desktopmodules, change/debug ascx.vb ?.

Also I tried to open DotNetNuke.DesktopModules.sln and it gives me the below errors.

Unable to read the project file 'Dotnetnuke.announcements.vbproj'.
The system cannot find the file specified.
Unable to read the project file 'Dotnetnuke.announcements.sqlprovider.vbproj'.
The system cannot find the file specified.
Unable to read the project file 'Dotnetnuke.contacts.vbproj'.
The system cannot find the file specified.

I also tried to open the DotNetNuke.DesktopModules.sln in notepad and changed the path for localhost to point to the correct folder.

Please help me in opening the DotNetNuke.DesktopModules.sln and the modules attached to it so that I will be able to change and debug the changes

If you are just wanting access to a couple of modules, it will probably be much easier to create your own solution with just those projects that you want to access.

You should be able to add an existing solution to your current solution, though it won't let you add projects that have the same name, which could be problematic.

Are the vbproj files that it can't find actually there, and it just can't find them?  Maybe you can remove those references from the solution and then re-add them from the location that you know they are in.

Hope it helps,
