I am trying to understand how to properly setup the sample projects to transparently work on my local dnndev.me site.
https://github.com/dnnsof...Platform.Samples.Mvc

I would like to debug both client side and server side code from Visual Studio 2017.

Basically I downloaded sample github repository to: E:\Sites\DNN\Git\Dnn.Platform.Samples.Mvc folder.

All projects in the solutions:
Dnn.ContactList.Api\Dnn.ContactList.Api.csproj
Dnn.ContactList.Mvc\Dnn.ContactList.Mvc.csproj
Dnn.ContactList.Spa

are set to build to: bin\Debug\ in debug mode.


I installed dnn instance into E:\Sites\DNN\dnndev.me\ folder.

My question is can I develop a module with muliple projects outside of dnn installation.
If yes how can I use mklink (symlink)? What folders and files I should map between my module development folder and dnn installation?
What are other ways to link outputs from my dev folders to dnn installation folder(s)?
I know I can see Output path of the project to ..\..\..\..\bin\  (but for an mvc based module that is however below dnn installation, 
but can I do it for paths outside of dnn installation?
What about other resource files?

Also I have a problem properly setting Project Location and Override application root URL.

I used to set it this way (I think in earlier versions of dnn) 
Project URL:
http://dnndev.me/desktopmodules/mywebformmodule
Override app root URL:
http://dnndev.me


I also want to prepare for SPA module development using this template:
https://github.com/OPSI-s...-SPA-and-Angular-6-7

Any recommended setup for developing with the latest dnn 9.x?

Thanks
Rad

I would start by using my templates, not the non-maintained buggy DNN ones...

Setting up your development environment: http://christoc.com/Tutor.../All-Tutorials/aid/1

Installing the templates (2019 is the latest version, you can get older ones from GitHub for 2017 support) http://christoc.com/Tutor.../All-Tutorials/aid/2 (https://github.com/chrishammond/dnntemplates)

Here are a number of other tutorials
