I am hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction?

I have created a new DNN module using a web service to retrieve my data.

I now want to package up this module as an installation file and add it to some of the portals I have on our DNN host.

The question is how do I include the Web Service and all the necessary references in the install package?

this needs to be added in the dnn file

if you open the dnn file you will find a <files> tag

inside that tag add

        <file>     

<path>"Where in your dnn solutin you want the file to go "</path>                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      <name>"Name of your file goes here"</name>
       

</file>

I beleave the extension for a web service is .asmx

hope this helps

Where can I find a good tutorial on using the dnn files?

I have a number of things I would like to do when packaging a new module such as including a web service, amendments to web.config files, etc?

Can these actions be automated via the dnn file?

OK, on my PC I have a version of DNN running. I have created a new module that retrieves the data it requires via a web service.

On this local version, I have access to the VB project and so adding a web reference to this service is very straightforward.

So, now that this module is complete on my PC, I want to package it up as an installation file and deploy it to several portals.

My question is - how do I package up this module so that the correct web reference is included?

Alternatively, is there anyway of adding a web reference to a web service via the DNN portal?

I followed the advice here: www.dnncreative.com/Forum/tabid/88/forumid/4/postid/9643/view/topic/Default.aspx

and dragged the web reference from App_WebReferences folder to App_code\MyModule1 folder ... then i packaged the dnn module.

However when I installed it on my portal, I got a data access error trying to call the web service.

I can't be the first person that has wanted to use a web service in a module rather than writing the necessary SQL stored procedures?
My problem is that I cannot get access to the database to create the necessary SQL, so I have to rely on the web service.
