Wow. I am really confused. I found the file, but I do not understand how it works. I never downloaded the source file to start with, only the install package. The install package does not have the vendorcontroller.vb with it. So where in the heck did the install package pull vendorcontrollers and all the other functions that were not included from? And how do I make changes to the file so that it works? I see where to make the changes, but I am not sure what to do next. Dot Net is really different than Classic ASP which I know inside and out. This is going to take some getting used to!

I build the files and the dll doesn't change. I don't get it. At no point does it ever add 'category' to the DLL getvendors no matter what I do. Is compile the same as build? Here is the function from vendorcontrollers.vb: Public Function GetVendors(ByVal PortalId As Integer, ByVal UnAuthorized As Boolean, ByVal PageIndex As Integer, ByVal PageSize As Integer, ByRef TotalRecords As Integer, ByVal category As Integer) As ArrayList Dim dr As IDataReader = DataProvider.Instance.GetVendors(PortalId, UnAuthorized, PageIndex, PageSize, category) Dim retValue As ArrayList = Nothing Try While dr.Read TotalRecords = Convert.ToInt32(dr("TotalRecords")) End While dr.NextResult() retValue = CBO.FillCollection(dr, GetType(VendorInfo)) Finally CBO.CloseDataReader(dr, True) End Try Return retValue End Function This is the object browser dll result: Public Function GetVendors(ByVal PortalId As Integer, ByVal UnAuthorized As Boolean, ByVal PageIndex As Integer, ByVal PageSize As Integer, ByRef TotalRecords As Integer) As System.Collections.ArrayList Member of DotNetNuke.Services.Vendors.VendorController Still no category! I get no errors. I have tried changing the bin location in properties and that didn't work. Thanks for all your help Chris, but I am still stumped as usual...

Bardman, fortunately it isn't really all that difficult once you get to know the structure that DNN uses.

You should check the project properties on the project you are building to see where the DLL is being built to. Recompile the project and copy that DLL into your website's BIN folder.
