    Yes, you can.  It may be a rather large task.  What, specifically, are you wanting to do?

    There are some pretty good books available that discuss the DotNetNuke architecture.  Look for "Professional DotNetNuke 4," "Professional DotNetNuke 5." and "Professional DotNetNuke Module Programming."

    yeah, I read the book.but let me know is it require to write dataprovider class, sqldataprovader class, userinfo, user controller class ? wether can we write our own classes with our own fields, properites and methods instead of above the classes????

    It is not necessary, but that is the recommended design pattern.

    There are some other approaches that also work well.  If you will look at adefwebserver.com, you'll see that Michael Washington advocates the use of Linc to SQL to simplify the data access layer.

    And, just recently Shaun Walker (the creator of DotNetNuke) has written this blog entry about a lightweight approach to module development.

    Remember, DotNetNuke is "just" another ASP.NET application, so you can do pretty much anything that is allowed.   Following the framework and "rules" keeps your site upgradable.
