Do you know how to get the value from the web service outside of DotNetNuke? If so, what is the URL/command?

OK, on my PC I have a version of DNN running. I have created a new module that retrieves the data it requires via a web service.

On this local version, I have access to the VB project and so adding a web reference to this service is very straightforward.

So, now that this module is complete on my PC, I want to package it up as an installation file and deploy it to several portals.

My question is - how do I package up this module so that the correct web reference is included?

Alternatively, is there anyway of adding a web reference to a web service via the DNN portal?

Hope this makes sense.

Have you tried using the "Create Module Package" on your local installation and then installing the module on the other site?

If there are other dll files required, you may have to move them to the other site manually.

Yes I have

But this doesn't package up the web reference for the web service.

I followed the advice here: http://www.dnncreative.com/Forum/tabid/88/forumid/4/postid/9643/view/topic/Default.aspx

and dragged the web reference from App_WebReferences folder to App_code\MyModule1 folder ... then i packaged the dnn module.

However when I installed it on my portal, I got a data access error trying to call the web service.

I can't be the first person that has wanted to use a web service in a module rather than writing the necessary SQL stored procedures?
My problem is that I cannot get access to the database to create the necessary SQL, so I have to rely on the web service.

I'd recommend that you ask on the DotNetNuke forums. There are some really good developers who frequent the Make it Hot forum.
