Hello,
I have finally gotten around to upgrading my sites to the latest 3.x framework. When I downloaded the new version, source version, and extracted, I opened the Authentication solution to make my usual changes to the AD Provider to make the automatic creation of users optional via a checkbox instead of automatically creating each new user.
Anyway, when I opened it, it was missing a reference to the ADSI Provider, so I navigated to the Providers\AuthenticationProviders\ADSIProvider and added the Provier.Authentication.ADSI.vbproj to the project and made my changes and it compiled fine. Can someone else confirm this reference is missing from the solution?
Secondly, and more importantly, I wen't to open the DotNetNuke.All solution and got a TON of project not found references. So I closed it and opened the DotNetNuke.core solution, which opened just fine. I wen't to add the Links project to it and found the vbproj file was missing from the links, and all other DesktopModules, which explains all the errors in the DotNetNuke.All solution.
I checked the forums and saw that vbproj file are no longer included in the downloads, even the source download. Which in itself would not be that bad, however, why provide invalid solution files that reference these modules? I had thought I had downloaded the install version by accident. I understand not all modules are compatible with all versions of the core, but could there be a package created that has the complete source of the modules that are installed in a default installation, since those modules ARE compatible with that core and so the solution files will work as I am sure this has come up for others?
Thank you,
Nathan
