Hi Will

Oh, this is fantastic, I was searching for something like this for days.

I need to do a Registration Form that can save the info in another table plus the Users table, I think that with this code I can do this, what do you think? I need it to have more fields than the common Registration form of DNN.

So I'm realy new in DNN, and in ASP to, but I think, this is going to help me very much.

The best way to bild a Module is with de DNN Module Template?

Thenks and Regards

Javier

I can see that this is an old thread, but the topic is dead-on.

i am working with DNN Community 4.9.5. As soon as I call InitialiseProfile(0), I get an error.

"The type initializer for 'DotNetNuke.Entities.Profile.ProfileController' threw an exception."

The InnerException reads:

"System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'DotNetNuke.Data.DataProvider' threw an exception. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Hi Will.

Thanks for the reply.

I was able to solve the problem. Basically, I was trying to create a separate VS website and add just enough DNN references to do the import. As I am pretty new to DNN, I definitely was not getting it right. So, I went over my development environment to see if I coud even build the DNN website cleanly - and I had problems. One weird one being that the compiler kept saying that I needed a newer version of the CountryListBox than 4.9.5 ships with. I just plugged the version number into the Assembly Info and rebuilt it.

I created my import as a User Control and then created a page using a skin which had my user control in it; and it worked.

Question:
What is the right way to build a sadnbox environment for DNN? If I try to run a local copy of the DNN website code in the Vs debugger, and the connection string points to a production environment, I seem to end up in the production environment - and I inherit all of the MS problems associated with trying to mess with a website on a remote share.

I was able to debug my import by attaching to the process on the server.

Thanks again.
