Hi everyone out There,

I am a .net developer and indeed a beginner with DNN . Recently i have tried  downloading the source 4.8.2  and run the application .But the compilation ends up with 2 errors config is not declared. I could see the missing import directive for dotnetnuke.common.Utilities and added the same. Those errrors were gone , but could see other similar 'not declared'  errors resulting as of  missing imports namespace directives in code behind. Its rarely possible to added import directives in all of the files.So if some one can help me out to make the source error free. I have experienced this problem with visual studio 2005. However one of my collegues did mention he opened the source with visual studio 2008 and could run the source error free. In the mean time i don't have visual studio installed in my system. Hope any one who could read this problem would help me out for solution .Your help would be appreciable. As far i can see other forum group , this is the right group for posting this kind of issue.If not please let me know of proper group , so that i can reach out to get this problem solved. Thank you

Pratik:

You are making a common assumption that many newcomers to DNN make, specially those with experience with ASP.Net development.  You do not, I repeat, DO NOT, need to compile the source to get a DNN site started.  I would recommend you to download the "Install" package instead, that package is precompiled and ready to go.  If you wish to start doing development of modules you can do so with the Install package.  Remember that you can always add modules to DNN dynamically without touching the core (or its source).  By the way, with the install package you don' t need any of the development tools either, again, the package is ready to go.  Also remember that DNN, with the Install package, is meant for those that are not developers.

And also, you have plenty to absorb about the whole architecture of DNN from the module development point of view.  I have been working with DNN for a long time, doing module development, and really try to avoid messing with the core source code.

Hope this helps.

Carlos
