    Build a DNN Module with ES

    I am the proud owner of EntitySpaces now (purchased under a different username). I am incredibly happy with it and it makes my life so much easier.

     However, I just scrapped an ASP.Net website for DotNetNuke. I want to be able to create each section of my site as a module and add it in. Is this possible? For example, an email routing page will allow the user to add which job types should go to which email address. Can I do this using ES and DNN? Are there any good examples of using ES and DNN together? Or can someone hold my hand and get me on my way.

    I also need a module for displaying information collected.

    All this information is coming from a SQL 2005 DB Server that I have generated for already.

    Using EntitySpaces with DNN is really not that different than using EntitySpaces with a regular ASP.NET site. Here is an overview of the process I use.

    1. Generate WAP (Web Application Project) DNN module frame from starter kit (VB.NET version provided by core)
    2. Add EntitySpaces references (Core, Interfaces, SqlClient, LoaderMT
    3. Generate objects as normal, place in 'BusinessObjects' folder I create in module project
    4. Assign dynamic config and loader in Page_Load of your view control.

    How do you extract a module you have made from the project? It seems to put files and folders all over the place in App_Code & Desktop Modules.

    If you see an App_Code folder then you are using a WSP (Website Project) Not a WAP (Web Application Project). If you use a WSP all the source must be packaged. I suggest you read the DNN module developers guide for more on private assembly creation.
