Hi,
My DNN website compiles quickly and runs in debug perfectly well and always has done, using the default <compilation> setting in web.config, batch=true. I have the ready-compiled version of DNN (not the install version). I use VS 2008 to compile and run DotNetNuke locally, where I can debug code quickly and work on it.

I recently installed a module (EasyDNNGallery), and now it does not compile, giving the errors as below.
I asked the vendors to clarify what is going on and did a lot of googling, but neither haver been very helpful. Please help since I now cannot work on the site using VS2008 and cannot debug. The only way to get it to compile is to set batch=false in <compilation> but this takes literally 10 minutes to compile EVERY time I run or do changes which makes it unusable. It has been suggested that I need the install version of DNN, where I can select 'Clean solution', or it has been suggested that several items in the code have the same classname in the codebehind which causes a conflict and the error. I've cleared my entire temporary ASP.NET files area but this happens every time.

Can anyone advise please on how I can get around this ? Is it definately a code problem with the module I've installled ? If so, how do I advise them what to recify?

Many thanks in advance,

Rob

Hi ByteBlocks, thanks for your reply.

I have only the compiled code for the module, ie. a bunch of .ascx controls and a load of DLL's in the BIN folder.

There are 3 ascx controls, AudioGallery0.ascx, AudioGallery2-0.ascx, AudioGallery2-1.ascx, with the first line respectively as below:

<%@ control language="C#" autoeventwireup="true" inherits="EasyDNN.Modules.EasyDNNGallery.DesktopModules_EasyDNNGallery_Controls_AudioGallery2Control, App_Web_audiogallery0.ascx.c7b91827" %>

<%@ control language="C#" autoeventwireup="true" inherits="EasyDNN.Modules.EasyDNNGallery.DesktopModules_EasyDNNGallery_Controls_AudioGallery2Control, App_Web_audiogallery2-0.ascx.c7b91827" %>

<%@ control language="C#" autoeventwireup="true" inherits="EasyDNN.Modules.EasyDNNGallery.DesktopModules_EasyDNNGallery_Controls_AudioGallery2Control, App_Web_audiogallery2-1.ascx.c7b91827" %>

So I guess this is it (from my limited knowledge) - the 3 controls each try to create a type EasyDNN.Modules.EasyDNNGallery.DesktopModules_EasyDNNGallery_Controls_AudioGallery2Control, and so we get the error since it already exists.

But presumably this is what they want to do, ie. share the backend code. Any ideas on what would normally be done in this situation?

Thanks,

Rob
