I've been using the "Create Private Assembly" function from the edit module definition screen since I discovered it yesterday, and it's way cool... HOWEVER, there is one slight problem I've discoverd.

If your stored procedures contain a plus sign "+", it is translated to a space by UTF7 encoding. And since UTF7 seems to be the default encoding scheme (see PAFile.vb, private function getTextEncodingType), you're kind of stuck, since the sproc gets copied over without the plus sign, and then refuses to create the sproc.

Any suggestions? I could mess with the base DNN product, but that doesn't seem very smart, but I can't imagine a different way to write the SQL. TIA.

And the answer is:

Include a "-" after the "+". So the line of code I was getting heartburn over looks like this:

SET @PageUpperBound = @PageSize +- @PageLowerBound - 1

After UTF7 gets finished encoding it, the "-" sign goes away and the "+" sign remains.

Bototm line, what I think you need to do (it works for me, anyway) is after you generate your PA file from the edit module menu and BEFORE you add your SqlDataProvider dll and install/uninstall files to the ZIP file, you need to find any "+" signs and tack a "-" sign after them.

Actually, the problem is ANSI encoding. If your file is encoded as ANSI (used by vs.net as it's default), then arithmetic operators are reserved characters. Open your script file in notepad, and do a "save as" and set the encoding to unicode.

Thanks, Cathal - while my approach works, yours works and makes more sense.
