I want to create a new module in DNN (VB) ... that;
1. does not use DAL or DAL+
2. has only one view.ascx control
3. It has to be a compiled module
I do not need DB connectivity and any bells and whistles just one view control. I thought it would be simple but googling for a day now and it seems very complicated.
I have several DNN modules that I wish to update silently, using the portal's built-in module upgrade facilities called from a separate application, in this case a Windows service. I was able to make it all work with version 4.3 of the portal by modifying the DNN source in key areas to allow DotNetNuke.dll to function outside of a web application. I'm now trying to do the same thing with the 4.9.0 source code and I'm having problems.
Everything works fine until DNN tries to read from the database. I have my Windows service project, the DNN library project, and several other related projects loaded in one VS solution (the additional projects are the same ones that are in the main solution file provided with the DNN source). I call PaInstaller.Install in my service to update each module. Execution gets to reflection.vb and then it tries to create a DotNetNuke.Data.SqlDataProvider object based on the type name. It raises an exception when calling System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.GetType. The exception says:
Could not load type 'DotNetNuke.Data.SqlDataProvider' from assembly 'System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'
I read this to mean it simply couldn't locate the DotNetNuke.SqlDataProvider.dll assembly. What's strange is that assembly is in the Bin folder for the DNN library project, and I also have it in the folder where my Windows service is running. The actual SqlDataProvider project is also loaded in the solution. I can't for the life of me understand why the runtime environment can't locate the assembly.
Has anyone tried something like this before, or know what could cause an assembly not to be found while stepping through the DNN source? Am I better off using something other than BuildManager.GetType to get an instance of the SQL provider type?
I know this can be done as there are other modules out there that have this, but I'm just not getting it to work.
I have created a custom module for a DotNetNuke site. I want to be able to create a class object within the module to hold the information about that object. I can create the object and everything complies. But when I go to use the object in the code-behind it states that the object is not defined. I'm not really sure where to go from here.
This is the beginning of the View.ascx.vb :
Namespace Modules.VacationForms
Public MustInherit Class View
Inherits PortalModuleBase
[Code].....
I'm really not sure why this is not working. I did download another module code to compare and as far as I can tell everything is the same.
I have a dynamically created CheckBoxList in a DotNetNuke module I'm building. When DNN creates the page, it prepends the control name with the moduleID and moduleName.
So, when I have "AddLicenseCheckBoxList" on the page, it becomes:
"dnn_ctr949_addRateGroup_AddLicenseCheckBoxList" depending on what the ModuleID and page name is (in this instance it's 949 and addRateGroup respectively). Now, I don't know what the name of the page or moduleID will be when this module is finished, so I need to make sure I am accessing the control my whateer name DNN gives it, and getElementById or getElementByName do not work even when using '<%= %>'.
So what I need to do is use Javascript or some VB to retrieve the checked values of the dynamically created CheckBoxList so that I can run an update on the database with those selected values. [code]...
My module's Page_Load event is firing twice for each "actual" load. On the initial load both loads' Page.IsPostBack property is false.I've renamed Page_Load to Module_Load to verify the name wasn't an issue. I've made sure the method isn't handling both Me.Load and MyBase.Load, which has been the case in the past.The only thing I'm doing out of the ordinary is that my module is inheriting from an intermediate base class. Could this be the culprit? [code]I had an Image without an ImageUrl. Presumably this is set by my CollapsiblePanelExtender but rendered with a blank src.

View 4 RepliesI've got this code here, hard coded into a button. What I want to do is create a module with a method, let's call it "openFile."
That way, in the future, I can just call openFile("default directory",file type, etc etc) and also being able to set the input from the reader as the text in a text box or something all in one line of code. Is this possible? I don't know anything about writing modules or my own methods/API or anything like that...Can someone point me to a tutorial about this?
Here's the
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim filesOpen As New OpenFileDialog()
filesOpen.InitialDirectory = ("C:") 'set the default directory

I'm trying to use it in writing VB.NET Windows Form code.So I'm thinking, instead of using a VB.NET module, or having code embedded in the forms, I should create my own "Control" Class, to handle all operations and "application" level variables.Is this the right approach?Ex:
Private Sub frmLogin_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
goControl = New MyControlClass()
goControl.sUserID = txtUser.text[code]....

View 3 RepliesBasically, we have three databases to grab data from. One is a SQL Server database, one is an Access database (which is particularly annoying to connect to because we have to map a network drive and such), and the final one will be an Oracle database when IT finally gives us rights.I'm thinking about creating a helper function that makes querying any one of these databases as easy as possible. I want to create a two-dimensional array
Dim myEasyResultArray(10,10) as String
myEasyResultArray = DatabaseHelper("Access", "SELECT * FROM Employee")
Is this a good design decision? Also, how can I have the array be the right size? Can I just do this?
Dim myEasyResultArray = DatabaseHelper("Access", "SELECT * FROM Employee")
Should this be a module or a class? I don't really need to share variables?
i am trying to create a module that will start a thread to go do something. once the "something" is done i want to notify the calling form that the event is complete. i left out the thread stuff since its not relevant to the question. the following code would work fine in VB6, but .net sees it as an error because FRM does not have a FRM.done, "DoSomething" would could called by multiple forms [Code]
View 2 RepliesThe company I work for has a VB6 project that is using an ACCESS database.The project consists of seperate modules such as Accounts Payable, Payroll, General Ledger, and Inventory.At the current time each module is a seperate project in VB6 and the EXE files are called when needed.In total there are about 1300 forms in the project.We are moving from ACCESS to Sql Server and from VB6 to VB2008.The question that I (we) have is as follows; Should we continue to keep each module seperate and call the EXE's or should we create one large project?What are the pros and cons for each way?Is there something written that explains the advantages of either?

View 3 RepliesIm trying to create a program with a simple gui that enables me to search for and select parent folders containing child folders containing multiple files and then validate those files based off of constants i set per child folder and file.
Example
User selects Parent FolderX
Parent FolderX > (ChildFolder1 ( Constant for ChildFolder1 says open file 4 ) > File 4
Compare multiple strings of text in a specific order based off of file name to constants i have set for that named file Then continue to ChildFolder2 ( Constant for ChildFolder2 says open file 16 ) > File 16 Compare multiple strings of text in a specific order based off of file name to constants i have set for that named file If there is any constants not read in one of the files after all have been checked, return msgbox with a notification and write .txt log with child folder and file names to specified directory?

As you can see from the above code I do not have forward, back and stop buttons. Thats because I do not need them. The browser will be configured to go to a certain website directly.
What I need is this browser should be configured to use specific JRE. That is the browser should use ONLY JRE 1.3.1 or ONLY JRE 1.4.2

I thought that some glass streaks, for example, in addition to the blue transparency would lend a nice effect.I've Googled around for GDI+ (and others) algorithms to do simple things painting like this but have come up empty. I prefer .NET but can figure out the painting from pseudo-code on up.
