DotNetNuke HelpTutorial Module

Introduction

Congratulations! You have created your own DotNetNuke Module. Please take a few minutes to read this document, which will help you install and configure your new module.

* Important *

Due to limitations in the templating capabilities of Visual Studio, you will need to make some minor changes before you can build this module.

Edit the Project properties by double-cliking on the My Project folder in Solution Explorer.
Make sure that the Application Tab is selected
Make sure the Root Namespace text-box is empty, and save the Project.

This module is configured to reference the DotNetNuke Library project rather than the assembly in the /bin folder. If you do not have the DotNetNuke Library project in your solution, you can change the reference in the References tab of the Project Properties. Select the DotNetNuke Library reference, and click Remove. Then click Add and find the DotNetNuke.dll assembly in the File Dialog.

Installing your module

To install your module, browse to your deevlopment DotNetNuke website and log in as a Host (SuperUser) user.

Browse to the Host/Module Definitions page and select Add Module. In the drop-down combo at the top of the page select the Manifest file for your new module and click Install.
Next browse to the Host/SQL page. Copy the text from the 01.00.00.SqlDataProvider file, and paste in the text box. Make sure the "Run as script" checkbox is checked and click Execute.

Your module should now be installed, and you can add it to a page in the usuall manner.
