Hello,

I am using DotNetNuke 5.5(SQL Server 2008) on my Windows Xp local machine. I created custom module from Visual Studio 2010 with .net framework 4.0 Windows Xp Sp3. I have used following steps to create custom module

Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 => File => New => Project => DotNetNuke Compiled Module
I saved the project file.

I am getting about 86 errors in the Visual Studio errors list. Some of the errors are as follows:

1. Type expected error
2. Type SearchItemInfoCollection is not defined.
3. Type 'SearchItemInfo' is not defined.
4. Type 'ProviderConfiguration' is not defined.
5. Type 'Entities.Modules.PortalModuleBase' is not defined.

Please let me know did I missed any step to create custom module? How can I fix these errors?

Are you using Chris Hammond's template? If so, you'll want to check and see which version of DNN that template supports. My guess is that DNN 5.5 is not compatible.

The current version of DNN is 7.3.4. My recommendation is that you upgrade to that version. The template should work and great strides have been made in the development of DNN over the years. DNN 5.5 is nearly 5 years old and is pretty much of a dinosaur.
