a quick note: If you have problems using vb.net

Hey there,

I´m a bit unsure if this has already been posted...however:

As some might had issues and stopped using VB.Net for their custom modules.
There´s one important thing you need to have in mind.

The Default Mojoportal Source and Web Config has only the C# compiler activated,thus
is unable to use VB code behind files.

To enable vb.net code behind files you need to add the VB Compiler to your web.config file.

Open your web.config file and look for the "<compiler>" section.
right beneath the C# compiler (<compiler language="c#;cs;csharp"[...]</compiler>)

you have to add the section for Visual Basic:

<compiler language="vb;vbs;visualbasic;vbscript" extension=".vb" warningLevel="4" type="Microsoft.VisualBasic.VBCodeProvider, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089">
    <providerOption name="CompilerVersion" value="v3.5"/>
    <providerOption name="OptionInfer" value="true"/>
    <providerOption name="WarnAsError" value="false"/>
   </compiler>

This code snippet is for .Net 3.5 Installations. If you´re already using a .Net 4.0 installation here´s a quick guide on how to get the VB compiler definition for 4.0.

- Create a new , blank, web application using VB.Net 4.0
- Open the web.config file of the created application
- Simply browse to the "<compilers>" section and copy the whole
VB Definition to your MojoPortal web.config file.
