I have been trying for weeks to use the source code for this module. FWIW I have no problem using the source code for some other modules.
Please, someone, post a WORKING TESTED RECIPE FROM SCRATCH to open and compile this module successfully winth the current version of DNN (4.5.4) and using either VWD or VS2005. Assume I have nothing installed. Your solution should look like:
1. Download and install DNN 4.5.4 install to your computer
2. Open site in VWD ...
<etc>
Please post a recipe and please test the recipe before posting.
My challenge: I think this cannot be done at all. I have yet to see any person here able to do this or indicate a replicable solution. I suspect that people here with working source code are using this code in a uniquely configured environment (ie. old version of DNN patched a little, with some old files and whatnot) such that THEIR environment will work, but a GREEN one will not.
I have tried installing and just trying to open the VSPROJ for the module itself (won't compile), installing into a 3.x version of DNN and using the Module Upgrade Wizard to convert into a 4.x site (hopelessly breaks the 4.x site), and about a hundred variations on these themes.
Why is this so bleeding difficult with this module? Or, how come it's so easy to edit source code for other modules?
