I created a relatively simple module using the DotNetNuke Compiled Module Project template with Visual Studio 2008.  The module works fine on my dev machine which is running DNN 4.8.4.

I have installed the module on my production server which is running 4.8.2.  When I put the module on the page, I get the following error:

Error: formSelector is currently unavailable.
DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: C:\DotNetNuke\DesktopModules\formSelector\ViewformSelector.ascx(18): error BC30456: 'CreateResourceBasedLiteralControl' is not a member of 'ASP.desktopmodules_formselector_viewformselector_ascx'. ---> System.Web.HttpCompileException: C:\DotNetNuke\DesktopModules\formSelector\ViewformSelector.ascx(18): error BC30456: 'CreateResourceBasedLiteralControl' is not a member of 'ASP.desktopmodules_formselector_viewformselector_ascx'. at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.CompileWebFile(VirtualPath virtualPath) at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.GetVPathBuildResultInternal(VirtualPath virtualPath, Boolean noBuild, Boolean allowCrossApp, Boolean allowBuildInPrecompile) at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.GetVPathBuildResultWithNoAssert(HttpContext context, VirtualPath virtualPath, Boolean noBuild, Boolean allowCrossApp, Boolean allowBuildInPrecompile) at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.GetVPathBuildResult(HttpContext context, VirtualPath virtualPath, Boolean noBuild, Boolean allowCrossApp, Boolean allowBuildInPrecompile) at System.Web.UI.TemplateControl.LoadControl(VirtualPath virtualPath) at System.Web.UI.TemplateControl.LoadControl(String virtualPath) at DotNetNuke.UI.Skins.Skin.InjectModule(Control objPane, ModuleInfo objModule, PortalSettings PortalSettings) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

I am across some other postings with a similar error, so I checked my Specific Version setting and it is already set to FALSE for the DotNetNuke.dll.  Does anybody know what else I should look at.

Thanks

If your module has been compiled against dotnetnuke.dll v 4.8.4 on your development machine, you CANNOT install it into a DNN instance (such as 4.8.2) having an earlier version number. I recall having done just that once accidentally and received the same CreateResourceBasedLiteralControl exception. If you do want to target DNN 4.8.2 with your module, you will need to reference dotnetnuke.dll v 4.8.2 in your project and be sure that the require specific version setting is False to allow installation of the module in LATER versions of DNN.
