The first thing to do would be make sure you are able to compile the module, and that you can debug it. So compile in debug mode and then set a likely breakpoint that you will hit. Then run your project. If the breakpoint is hit you are off and running. If you can't get to this point then I would suggest that you look elsewhere for advice on how to use Visual Studio because this isn't a help forum for it.

With regard CustomField1, I would tackle this at the user interface layer only since that will minimise the number of changes you will have to make and not impact your database.

This should be pretty easy in thye edit view, because there are specific controls already in place which you can change and then use ctype to change from what is stored in the database to the boolean required for the checkbox.

However, not sure how you would do this in the other views, many of which are now tokenised/templated. I guess you could output an appropriate bit of html to display the checkbox as needed. This would need to be done in the TokenReplace code in EventController.

Bear in mind that if you want to take advantage of any module upgrades you will have to re-work your changes after each upgrade.

You asked if it was easy... If you haven't used Visual Studio before, have you coded in VB.Net before? If not, I wouldn't advise taking it on. Depends on what your coding skills are....

Cheers
Roger
