I've been using the 5.0 beta links for several months without issue and currently use it with a production DNN 5.5  site. I realize that its beta and shame on me for putting it into production, but its proved to be very stable and a big step up from the current release.   I recently installed an extension and received a compilation error immediately after a successful install of the extension.  The error is coming from line 90 of App_Code/Links/LinksController.vb.  The statement is: Dim proxy As new Net.WebProxy (DotNetNuke.Entities.Host.Host.ProxyServer, proxyport)  The error messageis BC30002: Type Net.WebProxy is not defined.

Has anyone else encountered this error?  Can anyone offer some insight or a possible solution?  I've got some ideas, but wanted to check here first.

Thanks for you quick response Sebastian.  My skill set doesn't include VB.  Can you give me an example or some more detail on your suggestion.  It would be very much apprectiated.

 Hello Steve,

try to change line 90 in the App_Code/Links/LinksController.vb file

From: Dim proxy As New Net.WebProxy(DotNetNuke.Entities.Host.Host.ProxyServer, proxyPort)

Into: Dim proxy As New System.Net.WebProxy(DotNetNuke.Entities.Host.Host.ProxyServer, proxyPort)


Kind regards
