I have enjoyed a long weekend off, one week ago and then kept busy by a nasty corruption of the DS database and by the time I got back to dnn, you were at release 1035. I will report on problems I meet in the new release rather than go back to 444.



It appears that dslocalizator will only survive upgrade to dnn 6 if I also convert it to c#. In the eighties and nineties most of my professional programming was in traditional c and I can easily read c#. I have been looking in vb.net to c# convertors, but I have not yet found anything satisfactory available for free and I still have no means to make electronic payments (and I am short in funds). I am sure the conversion to c# is a hurdle I can take, I even welcome it, it was long due.



I've been trying setup configurations that are unique to my needs (like making an update from the source code compiled in debug mode, so that I can step through code from my project into the core code and see what happens there). I have not yet figured everything out yet, and I will only come shouting "Bug! ... Bug! ..." when I know I have my side of the procedures firmly under control.



In the mean time, I do try to follow what comes through the tracker, to have an idea of issues I might encounter that are not related to my position on the learning curve.  Many of the issues I met (like wrong Telerik UI dlls in the very latest build of 5.6.2) were not my fault after all.



I also try to get a grasp on some basic c# concepts (like how partial classes relate to inheritance in vb.net), nothing I cannot do.

> like how partial classes relate to inheritance in vb.net
Partial classes are identical in VB and C#. In fact you will find that there are very few differences between VB.NET and C# in their current versions.

also, you should have no need to move to C#, since you are just creating an extension, which should be agnostic of the language the core is written in

Glad to announce you I got it all figured out. DSLocalizator will be functioning on DNN 6 (touch wood!).

I don't know what I did wrong the first time round, because the working solution was exactly what I wrote (or intended to write ???) the first time.

Then I went researching blogs, forums and knowledge bases for the missing information, and I read (a few times) that partial classes had to be written in one language only.

That of course proves to be false. Locopon (Mauricio) assured me that mixing was perfectly possible since the code went in different dll's.

So, the changes to DSL to function in its new environment are minimal.I'll have to find another project to practise c# on :-)

Great news, I look forward to DSLocalizator for DNN 6, which is a great option for multilingual sites!
