Hi,

all modules I've written so far were of the type shown in the various tutorials: One database table, one view ascx, one edit ascx, and one settings ascx.

Now I want to build a module (WSP) which is "slightly" more complex (many tables, and many ascx).

My problem now is, what is the best file structure for this? specifically: where do I place all the Info.vb and Controller.vb files (Like, MyModule_Object1Controller.vb, MyModule_Object2Info.vb)? Do they all go under the app_code/MyModule folder? And, I assume I only need one DataProvider.vb and one SqlDataProvider.vb, which also go into App_Data/MyModule/?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, 
Vera

This really depends on what you are doing, and I personally use different methods depending on what I am doing.

I typically build using the WAP model but the rules are still the same.

I don't always create multiple controllers if the objects are closely related I will just put them in 1 controller to make the code easier.  FOr Data providers yes it is best to have just one of those....even though you could make more if you really wanted.

As for where to put the files you are correct, you just continue using the same rules as you do for the inital setup.

Vera, that is the way to go in WSP. Please note that you can also create subfolders below App_Data/MyModule/. You don't need to enter them as  additional codesubdirectories in web.config.
