new block in 2.3

Can anyone give me a hint on how to make a new block like infoblock and get it to work.

It was no problem in 1.9 but now its giving me a bit of a headake.

Im a bit of a rookie when it comes to ASP.NET, i wen´t from ASP classic to this

I´m using VS 2010, to alter the files. the editing goes fine sinse it´s just another "editor" My problem using it is when the the solution has been build, i have as of yet not found a simple way of getting the changes out onto my webserver.

I simply upload all the new files, there must be an easier way to do so.

So if there is a cleaver guy out there with a few words of wisdom please come forward :-)

Hi Netkravler,

It sounds like there are a couple of questions here and based on your comment about 1.9 I'm guessing you're now on a 2.x version.

Question #1: How to make new pages like infoblock.

First I recommend you visit http://www.asp.net/mvc and follow along with the samples and videos provided. This will give you a good idea how to add new functionality to a MVC website. That alone might answer the question on how to add functionality like infoblock. You can also checkout the nopCommerce documentation https://www.nopcommerce.com/downloads.aspx.

Question #2: Best way to deploy  
The simplest way would be to just copy all of the files until you get comfortable and understand what files are required to deploy for each type of change. If you are going to be making a lot of changes and doing full time development you should research a continuous integration server like TeamCity http://www.jetbrains.com/teamcity/.

I hope these answers help you with your nopCommerce project.

I´ll look into the links you gave me. Luckily i have a pretty good memory. I only have to get them to work once.

At first it´s like shooting blindfolded, you pretty much don´t know where to look. If you haven´t been up to date all along :-).

Now i have somewhere to start at least :-)

Thx
