Hi there

I have downloaded the DotNetNuke VB Compiled Module from codeplex, but because I have windows XP and IIS 5, it seems not to work 100%

It wants to keep creating a virtual folder and installs to a application data\temporary projects folder

Now I need to change the path of the Virtual Folder, move the project from the temp projects folder to my c:\inetpub\wwwroot\nukedev\DesktopModules folder each time I want to create a new custom module.

I can live with this, but is there a work around to make that template work without hacking it?

Another thing, I just started with DDN, is there documentation for each of the base classes you inherit from? I mean, if I want to connect to my database, I don't want to hard code the connectionstring etc, i want to pull it from a Property of one of the Portal Classes.

Thank you.

You should review the tutorials from the Wiki here on module development.
