You:

Hello, I'm restarting my first DNN module project with a focus on ensuring everything is correctly integrated and functions smoothly. I've just restored my project to a stable state after failing a few times.

Please guide me step-by-step through the coding process, providing complete code snippets for any changes or new features. I need detailed, executable instructions so I can primarily focus on copy-pasting your code into my project.

Our last session on debugging my first build of a DNN module using Visual Studio was fabulous. Your coding work was unparalleled considering that Chris Hammond, the coder of the SPA template I started with did most of the heavy work for the DNN 9.13.2 (most current version). You helped me debug the SPA module after I moved the sample code from one database to another and expanded the module to the UVG_Video table.

For this session on adding some functionality to that module.

Thank you in advance for your expert coding skills.

Great to hear you're making progress on your DNN module project! Let's go through the process step-by-step to add some new functionality to your module. I'll assume you want to add CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations for a new table in your database.

Step 1: Set Up Your Development Environment

Ensure your development environment is set up correctly:

Visual Studio: Make sure you have the latest version of Visual Studio installed.
DNN Installation: Ensure your DNN installation is up and running.
DNN Module Template: Use the SPA module template from Chris Hammond as your starting point.

Step 2: Define Your Data Model

Assuming you're working with a new table, let's say UVG_VideoDetails. First, define your data model.

Create the Data Class: Add a new class in your Models folder.

``csharp namespace YourModuleNamespace.Models { public class VideoDetail { public int VideoDetailId { get; set; } public string Title { get; set; } public string Description { get; set; } public DateTime UploadDate { get; set; } } } ``

Step 3: Create the Data Provider

Create methods for your data access

Great to hear that you're ready to add some functionality to your DNN module. Let's take this step-by-step to ensure smooth integration and proper functionality.

Step 1: Set Up Your Environment

Open Visual Studio and load your DNN module project.
Ensure your development environment is set up correctly, with DNN 9.13.2 installed and your module properly registered.

Step 2: Define Your Requirements

Specify what new functionality you want to add to your module. For instance, let's assume you want to add the ability to create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) records in the UVG_Video table.

Step 3: Create the Data Layer

Create a new folder in your project named Data.
Add a new class file named UVG_VideoDataProvider.cs.

Here is the code snippet for UVG_VideoDataProvider.cs:

```csharp using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Data; using System.Data.SqlClient; using DotNetNuke.Common.Utilities; using DotNetNuke.Data; using DotNetNuke.Framework.Providers; using DotNetNuke.Modules.YourModuleName.Components;

namespace DotNetNuke.Modules.YourModuleName.Data { public class UVG_VideoDataProvider { private const string ProviderType = "data"; private const string ModuleQualifier = "Your
