Unable to Drag and Drop controls from Toolbox to Form Design Started By wengkin I have an installed DNN944 instance. I am working on VS2019 Community. I downloaded Christoc's template and wanted to drag and drop controls onto View.ascx to start desiging my module. However i get a disabled icon which does not allow me to drop any controls. Manually coding the asp:Label resulted in an Error 'HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component'. I repeated many attempts with some success. I hope this can be verified with other developers on this forum. Bas...	1	2129	2/9/2020 7:29 AM by wengkin

DNN Events posting to DNN Journal HTML Showing Issue Started By Cody DNN Events Github Issue 40 I am hoping to resolve this issue sometime in the near future. I am wondering if any other module developers that have created posts to journal feature may know the issue here. Any type of clue is great as I am new to journal posts from modules and am looking for anything to help speed up my efforts. The HTML Source is being pushed to the journal.

SPA modules & Localization Started By Stefan Cullmann If you do any kind of SPA apps for DNN,one difficulty is to localize the Javascript app. Usually the language packages are created in DNN in the form of resx files.

I have setup a github repository with an early prototype. Currently this service would be able to query any localization resource within DNN. Disadvant...	1	2953	9/14/2019 8:25 AM by Stefan Cullmann
