Lee..I really enjoy this site and the tutorials you put out are great. It really has help me get a much better understanding of DNN and how I can use it. I would like to make a request though. I'd like to see a tutorial on building a module using Visual Studios from the ground up for us beginners, possibly using one of the many free templates that already exist. It doesn't have to be anything extravagant, just something we all can use to build ideas from, Unless you've already done this and I've just missed it. The tutorials that I've seen, via Googling, don't have your unique method for instruction and seem to be somewhat outdated, especially for the latest templates and DNN version. The concepts are there, so I still vew them, but would really enjoy your take on it. Again keep up the great work and I look forward to many more tutorials. Thanks, Bob

Bob,

I'd recommend Mitchel Sellers's book on DotNetNuke module construction. Also, if you will go to DotNetNuke.com and look for the webinars area, you'll find at least one on module development.

Joseph..Thanks for the reply, I'll check those out. If you or anyone else has any other suggestions please feel free to let me know.

Thanks,
Bob

A great module for me is Open-SmartModule. This module can be placed anywhere like any other module but can be loaded with a custom ASP.NET web user control.

Using this module I have been able to highly customize my site with my own "modules" without worrying about all the behind the scenes stuff.
