I want to create a module and customize it from the code to add new fields to take inputs and display them in the profile. Can you provide any references and articles to follow?

Not sure what the use case is. But you can add profile fields in Settings - Site Settings - Settings behavior - User profiles. Does that give what you need?

Not exactly! i have created a custom module from visual studio and installed it on my website and even added to a page. I want to refer some tutorials on how to edit that custom module from visual studio. 

The usecase is there are some date and time fields and the inputs from the should be displayed.

Get yourself a copy of

Professional DotNetNuke Module Programming
by Mitchel Sellers and Shaun Walker

I just checked and it's available used at Amazon

There's also a nice blog series at https://www.dnnsoftware.c...s--blog-series-intro

I think that there are videos at YouTube.com.
