Hi

I am trying to reuse our existing user control in DNN. Its a time zone control which lets the user to select 3 time zones and display the same in the home page. Each user's preference is stored in the database.

First option:

• Took the existing compiled control and its dll, created a zip file and installed as container.
• It created the manifest. But it didnt work.

Second option:

• Created a web application, included our DAL class library project also.
• Also i inherited the user control from portalmodulebase instead of System.Web.UI.Usercontrol.Compiled and included in DNN.

But again received the following error:

Error: TimeZoneWidget is currently unavailable. DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException:

Could not load type 'TimeZoneForDnn.TimeZoneWidget'. ---> System.Web.HttpParseException:

Could not load type 'TimeZoneForDnn.TimeZoneWidget'. ---> System.Web.HttpParseException:

Could not load type 'TimeZoneForDnn.TimeZoneWidget'. --->

Here are my questions:

1.  I am sure about my migration steps.
   1. I want to create custom user control which speaks with our DAL.
2. When i tried adding our connection string in DNN's web.config, the whole site was down displaying config error.

Hope someone can point me in the right direction.

Thanks,
