Hi Kelly

Sorry to be a pain and come back again. Please excuse me, I haven't used VB in 15 years (I've been living in Delphiland) and someone changed it while I was away! :)

I've done all that, sort of. I *thought* my namespace was going to be 'DotNetNuke', but it doesn't like that or anything else I put. I'm getting 'Error 118 Could not load type DotNetNuke.'DesktopModules_Test_View', or whatever I put as namespace. If there's one defined in some project setting somewhere, I can't find it. I've looked through web.config and have these listed:

<add namespace="System.ComponentModel"> <add namespace="System.Data"> <add namespace="System.Data.SqlClient">
<add namespace="System.Drawing"> <add namespace="Microsoft.VisualBasic"> <add namespace="System.Globalization">
<add namespace="DotNetNuke.Services.Localization"> <add namespace="DotNetNuke.Entities.Users">
<add namespace="DotNetNuke"> <add namespace="DotNetNuke.Common"> <add namespace="DotNetNuke.Data">
<add namespace="DotNetNuke.Framework"> <add namespace="DotNetNuke.Modules">
<add namespace="DotNetNuke.Security"> <add namespace="DotNetNuke.Services">
<add namespace="DotNetNuke.UI"> <add namespace="DotNetNuke.Entities.Portals">
<add namespace="DotNetNuke.Common.Utilities">
<add namespace="DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions">
<add namespace="DotNetNuke.Entities.Tabs">

Am I missing a line, or something, - besides a clue or two, that is?
Yes, it's that.

 Thanks, I'll file this post away for the next time, if there is one. I'm doing a favour for a friend by trying to put this thing together, though I could get to like it if the learning curve wasn't quite so vertical. :)

Many thanks for your help, I really appreciate it.

Cheers

I've downloaded that. Thanks. Perhaps I should use a template instead of creating a module from DNN Host. I assumed that Module Definitions|Create New Module|New would give me the basic framework . I ran what it gave me, and it worked, I copied and pasted my bits inside, and it didn't. 

The problem, for me, with using the template (I've played around with the already installed ones several times over the last couple of weeks) is the 'YourCompany' bit. I didn't particularly want to use that but also didn't know all the correct places to change it. I did a bit of research on changing it and couldn't find anything of any use. The only source that I found, that told me what I needed to do, recommended a global Find & Replace on YourCompany. It changed 50+ instances and resulted in yet another reinstall of DNN. So, I was trying to find the easiest route, which to me, was to let DNN create the thing and then plug in my bits, once they worked in an aspx.

I don't know where your other reply went. I got notification in my Gmail but it doesn't show up here. I'll paste it in and reply.

I appreciate I can name it anything; I thought it had already been named by DNN when it created it, as it all ran ok 'out of the box'. Where is the name stored? I've been through everything I can find online (obviously in the wrong places) and can't find anything on where to find the namespace name to set or change it.

In answer to your questions; it is sitting in a folder under Desktop Modules, where DNN created it. And it is just a bespoke data-entry form.

Hi Ian. Maybe you might have also a look at this good tutorial for a "quick win". Starting from there it is a little bit easier to design your own ideas.... You can find a pretty good step by step tutorial at Johans Site here Cheers Kai
