So I have created a custom module using the DNN Module Template in VS2005. I have all these files and source code in the Module's folder under the App_Code folder and all these files and code inside the DesktopModules/MyModule folder which includes the SQL files and dnn files and such. Now when I publish the web to compiled dll's, I get a dll for each page with some name like "App_Web_viewsitecontact.ascx.22ed990f.dll" for each user control and I guess the source files  in  that were in the module folder under the App_Data folder are compiled into the APP_Code.dll. So how do you get all the files compiled with names that make sense. Have I set the development enviroment up incorrectly and how do I fix this mess. Does anyone know how to make these compile correctly?

If I right click on web site and say add new item, I do not find the Compiled Module template listed. I have looked and it does exist on the Templates folder. Do I need to convert the whole web site to the WAP model and how do I do that. The structure that is in the template you recommend will give me exactly what I am looking for I think. I am running Vista with VS2005 + VS2005 SP1 + VS2005 SP update for Vista so I should have the very latest of everything along with DNN 4.5.1. Can you give me some guidance as to how to convert or what I need to do . Thanks...

In VS2005 Solution Explorer, right click the solution and select Add --> New Project
Go to Visual Basic --> Web
You should have the option to add a new DotNetNuke Compiled Module there.
