DNN 5.5
Visual Studio 2008 Professional
Web Application Project
IIS local on Win 7 with local SQL 2008

When I use a third party control (ASPxGridView from DevExpress) it creates a web.config file in the project root. The module then fails because this isn’t the application root. If I delete the web.config it is better but the control still doesn’t work correctly. I am not sure whether to try and merge the web.config that is created into the web.config file at the root of DNN or should I create a Virtual Directory? I am stuck. I know this is a newbie question but I am still learning.

I use to develop using a Web Site Project but now I am trying to use Web Application Projects.

I setup my develop environment according to Christ Hammond’s instructions…

What information is in the web.config file that ASPxGridView requires? If it's just a handler or two you might be able to add it to the DNN config fairly easily, you should check out the dnnweb project on codeplex for an example web.config change using the .DNN file during install.

Chris - Thanks for your quick response and also thank you very much for the template and clear instructions provided in your blog. It was really helpful for getting me started.

I am not familiar with the DNN config so I will have to look at that. I was just surprised that it added a web.config file in the root of my project when it wasn’t the application root. Here is what I had to put in the web.config file (located in the DNN application root) to make the ASPxGridView work. I also had to copy some DLL files into the bin directory.

<assemblies>

            <add assembly="DevExpress.Web.ASPxGridView.v10.1, Version=10.1.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B88D1754D700E49A"/>

            <add assembly="DevExpress.Web.v10.1, Version=10.1.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B88D1754D700E49A"/>

            <add assembly="System.Windows.Forms, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089"/>

            <add assembly="DevExpress.Web.ASPxEditors.v10.1, Version=10.1.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B88D1754D700E49A"/>

            <add assembly="DevExpress.Data.v10.1, Version=10.1.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B88D1754D700E49A"/>

      </assemblies>

And also…

<modules>

        <add name="ASPxHttpHandlerModule" type="DevExpress.Web.ASPxClasses.ASPxHttpHandlerModule, DevExpress.Web.v10.1, Version=10.1.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B88D1754D700E49A"/>

      </modules>
