Hi all,
I am new to DNN. Till now I was able to download the dnn 4.7 source and get the website running. I also downloaded Forums Module source (v4.4.3) and installed it. I am able to use the out of box features provided by this module and its looks great. 

But I would love to modify this module to suit my needs. Here comes the problem. As far my understanding goes the forums module is made up of many user controls and some custom web controls.
So I directly tried changing a "ForumContainer.ascx.vb" file under ~/admin/desktopmodules/forum/ folder. But the changes done wudnt reflect on the page. Worse still i tried deleting the  all the code already present in the code-behind page; the forums remain unaffected. Can somebody plz help me in working out what code the forums module is actually pointing to?

My main aim here is to be able to modify the forums module to suit my needs.

Thanks & Regards,
Bharadwaaj.

When you install the forum module, it installs DotNetNuke.Modules.Forum.dll. This is the compiled version of the code-behind for the forum module.

From your description, it seems that you are changing source code, but not rebuilding and reinstalling the module. That's why your changes are not appearing.
