Hi,

I found that the aDefHelpDesk module is what I want but I don't want to use it as DNN module.
So, I downloaded the source zip.

I try to use the standalone website but I have some problems and I need your help.

I created a folder named "X" and I put there the files that were in ADefHelpDeskStandAlone folder.
When I try to build the project I get the below errors:

- Could not load type 'ADefWebserver.Modules.ADefHelpDesk.Logs'
- Could not load type 'ADefWebserver.Modules.ADefHelpDesk.Tags'
-Could not load type 'ADefWebserver.Modules.ADefHelpDesk.AdminSettings'
- Could not load type 'ADefWebserver.Modules.ADefHelpDesk.Work'
- Could not load type 'ADefWebserver.Modules.ADefHelpDesk.Comments'


Could you please help me with this?

Thank you in advance,

Antonia

On the Download page there are 2 versions you can download. One is a DNN module the other is not. You will want to download the Stand Alone version.

Hi,

I have the same issue.

I downloaded source code from the "ASP.NET" version (http://adefhelpdesk.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/changes/77498#), then tried to get source from the SVN repository.
Both resulted in the same issue: the standalone website won't compile because of the errors described above by ailiopoulou.

What are we missing?

Thank you for your help...

I can only reccomend downloading the install version and following the directions:

Thank you for this answer, but one more question before trying this solution: does this version include source code?

No it doesn't.

Ok.
Is this issue going to be solved or the only way to get a working version of the sources is to use the DNN version?

Is this issue going to be solved

It is possible to run the source code version. You can open it up in Visual Studio, hit F5 and the site will run.

The only reason it is not working for you now is that you have a permissions configuration problem. There is nothing we can do programtically to fix a permission problem on your computer.

Hi,

I also got the same problem using the source code, but i did able to have the install version running.
Can we not able to make changes on it using the source code you have provided?
Also, would it be possible to connect this to other website in a way like it automatically gets the user and log it in?
I'm thinking of doing it by adding querystring to default.aspx and add some codes on pageload but the source code is not working.

Thanks

Make sure you are using the source code of the Standalone version not the DotNetNuke version. When I create the inslall version of the Standalone version I am using the exact source code that you see checked in at: http://adefhelpdesk.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/view/78171#

Also, would it be possible to connect this to other website in a way like it automatically gets the user and log it in?

If you look at the database tables: http://adefhelpdesk.com/Documentation/StandardASPNETVersion/Technical/ClassDiagram/tabid/89/Default.aspx
AdefHelpDesk_User is the table that the code uses to authenticate a user and get details. You will want to put your users in there. To automatically log them in, simply run the code in the "LogUserIntoSite(ADefHelpDesk_User User)" method in the Login.aspx.cs file.

The problem raise when using Visual Studio 2008 .NET insted of 2005 on all ascx files there is a keyword change from CodeBehind to CodeFile.

Example for Work.ascx in the first line reads

<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Work.ascx.cs" Inherits="ADefWebserver.Modules.ADefHelpDesk.Work" %>

Change for:
<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Work.ascx.cs" Inherits="ADefWebserver.Modules.ADefHelpDesk.Work" %>

Now i have the problem for inherit from ModuleBase get this error on .NET 2008

Error 1 No se puede encontrar el tipo o el nombre de espacio de nombres 'ModuleBase' (¿falta una directiva using o una referencia de ensamblado?) C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\ADefHelpDesk0\ADefHelpDeskStandAlone\ADefHelpDeskWebSite\Controls\Tags.ascx.cs 33

If any know the answer i will appreciated any comments.

If you download the source and double click on the "ADefHelpDeskWebSite.csproj" file and open it in Visual Studio 2010 it will build and run.

If you do anything else, Open with anything but Visual Studio 2010, or use File Open Website, it will not.

This happens because the project is a "Wep Application Project" type and not a simple "web site project" type.
That is why it give us some errors when we just open the project as a website.
What we have to do is to open the website as a project and select the file "ADefHelpDeskWebSite.csproj" and the it loads, builds and runs perfectly.
Hope this helps.

I tried to do so in VS2008 but it does not work.
I am having the same error above

The type or namespace name 'ModuleBase' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?

Can anyone help please?

I tried to do so in VS2008 but it does not work.

If you open with anything but Visual Studio 2010 it will not work.

To make it work in VS2008 (Windows 7 x64), just edit project file ADefHelpDeskWebSite.csproj and change the following line
from
<Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0\WebApplications\Microsoft.WebApplication.targets" />
to
<Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v9.0\WebApplications\Microsoft.WebApplication.targets" />
(or whatever you have in other working solution)
Then you can open project file in VS2008 and it will compile and work.

I also tried but I never got the default page to display. I get this in the browser:
Parser Error Message: Could not load type 'ADefWebserver.Modules.ADefHelpDesk.Default'.

Now the web.config can't be read - HTTP error 500.19

It will load and I can see the first page of the wizzard if I run it in Visual Studio debug mode but that doesn't help me on my production server.

ARG!!!!

I am sorry for the frustration. We do plan to make a version that works with the IIS installer in the future.
For now, perhaps you can fully install it on your local machine, then FTP the files to your remote server.
ADefHelpDesk is simply an ASP.NET application that talks to a SQL database.
