Literal follwing of Hellow world tutorial (v3) doesn't work!!
Posted: 25 Jul 06 9:46 AM
I'm using Visual studio 2003, and have downloaded the dnn 3.3.3 source.. installed it, have the site working properly, and am attemping to follow the Hello World tutorial.  The problem is, if I follow the instructions literally, I get a slew of errors in the 'task list' in VS  like  'AddHelloWorld is not a member of DotNetNuke.Data.Provider'... and etc.  I'm guessing there's a certain amount of 'you should know this involved'... and while I'm a decent vb.net developer, I've not worked with web projects much at all.  Are there any more pointers/sites that are for the really big 'dummies' out here amongst us?

I'm sure there some piece you're not doing right. This is the most simple tutorial you can find, I cannot imagine something simpler. So please, relax and take your time to understand what you're doing, this is the best way to find the source of the errors and learn.

The DataProvider class is an abstract class. It just defines the contract that any provider has to follow in order to be compatible with that module. So this is what the SqlDataProvider does.

But your problem is that in some place on your module you're referencing a method called "AddHelloWorld" that is not defined on the DataProvider class. Please verify this point, should be a problem with the naming or similar.

Ok... tried it again, fresh DNN install, fresh codesmith (the trial version 3.x, I was using freeware 2.6 before), on a different machine even!!! made it up to step '9'.. view control.  When I try to build the project, I get:<<< Unable to write to output file 'C:\Documents and Settings\SCOTT\VSWebCache\LCF-SCOTT\333s\obj\Debug\DotNetNuke.dll': The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. >>>
I tried restarting VS, bouncing my webserver... no effect.

So, I went ahead and added the module definitions... and get this when I try to view a page w/ the module in it:  <<<
Error: HelloWorld is currently unavailable.

I'm hoping somebody has encountered this before :)

Ok... I removed all instances of 'IsEditable' from the HelloWorld.aspx code, and it worked.  Trying to figure out what is wrong with it now.

ok... I'm banging my head agains the wall now.  The module loads fine now, however if I try to add a message, it inserts a "blank" message entry into the HelloWorld table.  How can I go about debugging what is happening here???

Anybody??? Also, I've found if I manually insert records into the HelloWorld table (with the proper moduleid)... it won't show them, either.  What could I have possibly missed?????
