Thank you so much for the replies and sorry it took me so long to respond, but I've been having a dbml issue that's been driving me nuts for the last few weeks and I finally just solved it and now I can get back to modifying the vendors module.

William, thank you for the link for the source.  I'm not sure why I couldn't find it (all I could find were the latest DNN files).  I think I understand what you are saying and I think that because I couldn't find the source files I needed to change is because the code I needed to change was in the complied DNN dll.  So if I download the source, how can I make the changes I need to make (#1. find the actual vendor code, #2. compile it as a new dll (the last time I compiled something was for a C++ exe)).  Forgive my ignorance, but I'm just trying to teach myself the ways of .NET through DNN during evenings (as I don't really do this as a day job).  If you don't have the time to help out, could you point me in the direction of a good doc to read that would shed some light for me?

Sebastian, that is a GREAT idea, and I never thought of just making my own module off of the old bones, but if I've got to alter the DNN core to get the results I need, wouldn't they just be wiped out as well if I did an upgrade as William said?  Could I just make my own dll and run it somehow alongside the core?  Sorry if that doesn't acutally make any sense.

Thanks again for the help.

Sebastian,

I would like to do that, but I am modifying an existing module that has some of it's code in the dotnetnuke dll core?  How could I make that code independant?

Thanks,

Oh, and cheers from Canada!

Sorry for the delay in responding (I just got engaged and we bought a house, so I've been insanely busy) but this project keeps getting pushed to the backburner.  I've decided to rebuild the site on the 5.2 framework (becuase the upgrade wasn't successful) and I'm going to just create a new banner module that will do what they want it to do (they want the banners to cycle AS the user is viewing the page along with pulling the banners based on specific critera like location, etc), so I guess we can call this thread dead.

Thanks for all the help though, I definetly learned something from this attempt.

Regards,

Kevin
