    Hi, I am experiencing the following:  I am using DNN 4.0, dot net 2.0 and VS 2005.  I followed the post on dotnetnuke.com on how to set up a development copy of DNN using the start kit and templates.  I then walked through the instructions on how to build a custom module in 4.0 on the same post.  In the end everything worked fine, the portal works and the module works. 

    The problem is that in the modules that I am trying to develop I need to use resources files stored in the app_globalresources.  After I add a file to the app_globalresources I should be able to referencec the files by using Resources.[file name] but I cannot, it will not pick up the files.  I then created a "hello world" web project using vs 2005 and tried a similar task and it WORKED accesing the resource files using Resources.[file name].  I then opened the DNN source code project and that worked too.  I then looked through the source code of DNN and found that there is a file called localization.vb that sets the location of the Resource location.  I then checked the defination of Resources in the DNN source and my "hello world" application and the defination points to the app_globaldefination.  I then looked at the defination in the DNN 4.0 templated project that I built using the DNN templates and the defination of Resources points to msccorlib.system.resources!!!

    Is there a problem with the DNN 4.0 templates where it does not correctly set this?  I only experience this when I build a DNN portal using the 4.0 templates.  Has anyone else experienced this problem?  This is severly hampering my ability to develop anything with DNN 4.0.

     

    Thanks in advance.

    Nate
