So, I'm learning how to develop modules using this video: http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Resources/Training/Basic-Module-Development.aspx

Everything is going well with my DNN site until now. When configuring the "Web" tab under the project properties I configured the start URL correctly and entered the "Project URL" under "local IIS web server" but then I was asked to create a "virtual directory" something that wasn't in the video and I hadn't been prompted with before with creating this module. Of course, I said "Yes." Right before I went to check these settings, from the moment I created the project to make this module, I couldn't drag and drop any of the objects into view.ascx, for example.

What's weird is I have the DNN Menu as well as log in / register links but no content

and the modules show up like this:

 <td valign="top" width="350"><div id="dnn_RightPane2" class="RightPane2"><div class="DnnModule DnnModule-DNN_HTML DnnModule-425"><a name="425"></a><div id="dnn_ctr425_ContentPane"><!-- Start_Module_425 --><div id="dnn_ctr425_ModuleContent" class="DNNModuleContent ModDNNHTMLC"> </div><!-- End_Module_425 --></div> 


I orignally thought it was the skin but that did nothing when I forced it to use minimal extropy, and I can't even login b/c I can click the login link and get the page but all I get is the title, "Login" without any text fields or buttons...Help? Thanks in advance.

if you are prompted to create a virtual directory, then you are doing something wrong. Usually a typo in the path. If you click yes, all hell breaks loose :). A good developer never clicks yes, unless you are very certain about what you are doing....

To fix: go to IIS and remove the virtual directory that was freely created for you. Then try again in visual studio, but now without the typos...

Erik,

Thank you very much that indeed solved it. I did make a typo.

Since we're on this topic and I have your attention...

When I try to drag and drop objects from the toolbox onto the "Design" view tab of view.ascx I get the prohibition sign and can't drop the object onto the page. What gives? I'm running VS 2010 as administrator and can save files.

When I add the code by typing the following:

<asp:textbox id="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:textbox>

I get this error on the Design tab:

Error Creating Control - TextBox1Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component.

I'm running .NET framework 2.0

it's a long shot, but you might have an issue with your anti virus software, see this reference: https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualS...
