How Do I Add My Existing ASP.NET User Controls to DNN?
So, now I have familiarized myself with DNN and it's powerful CMS features. It rocks!
How do I take my existing Karaoke application, a dynamic database-driven website, and incorporate it into DotNetNuke?
Last night, I read that you can convert existing aspx pages into DNN modulss for seamless integration. That's what I researched today.

This blog entry finally did it. Thanks! Couldn't let the author know how many hours she/he saved me, since they don't accept posts.
"Now, what about my pre-existing web pages? I need to convert them to Dotnetnuke modules. "

Followed the article above and came across an error when "Importing Module Definitions": Error Importing Selected Control. I could not import any modules - at all - not just my new one. So, upgraded from 5.1.1 to 5.1.2 (downloaded 5.1.2 upgrade and followed instructions in documentation\readme.txt file. Unfortunately, I'm still seeing same exact error. Checked Admin\Event Viewer for more details on error and saw "Object reference not set to an instance of an object.". I'm sure I can trace this error; however, I'll save the time and wait for the next version.
Here's information about this known bug below.
Fixed in Version Fixed In (5.1.3) Stabilization Release...need to upgrade now.

I order for me to use the latest version of DotNetNuke, I'll need to wait until the 5.1.3 release
