Hi all,

With some urgency, I need to fix a bug in a desktop module. Completely new to, in fact haven't even started learning, DNN. Assuming the old errant module is already in place and I have corrected code and compiled, is it OK to just switch folders (and containing files), without doing anything at all in DNN administration?

It may not be the recommended way, but can it be done? Please say yes!

Regards,

Johan Bryntesson

In the usual approach to upgrading a module, the upgrade will have a higher version number than that already installed and will be installed in the same manner as the initial install via (in DNN 5.x) either Host-->Module Definitions-->Install Module or Most-->Extensions-->Install Extension Wizard. If the version number of the upgrade is the same as that already installed, the DNN 5.x installer does offer a "Repair" mode which will essentially replace the existing module files with those of the upgrade.

File replacement (either manually using the repair mode of the extensions installer) will only work if 1) there are no changes to the SqlDataProvider scripts, 2) the module upgrade does not need to run code in its implementation of the IUpgradable interface, and 3) no changes to the module and module controls registration in the database is needed.

Thanks for your answer, William! I must be missing something. I simply replaced the whole folder in DesktopModules with the new one. The change is that a resource file has some new text to be replaced by a new line of code, and then mail out the result. The DLL is apparently not being found, because the replacement text appears unaltered in the mails. So that a like-named DLL is in the same place as the old one is not good enough? I also restarted the IIS. best, Johan
