Problems getting custom module to work
I followed to a T the online developers guide for creating custom modules, found here www.sitefinity.com/.../how-to-how-to-create-a-custom-content-based-module.html, but after registering my module, now I get the following error when I try to start my project. Any help would be appreciated.
No metadata has been registered for class RecipeModule.Model.Recipe. (This usually indicates, that either this class is not declared persistent or it is declared persistent but not enhanced. The class was loaded from file:///C:/svn/web/bin/RecipeModule.DLL.)
Stack Trace:

Hello Chris,
It looks like the module has not been enhanced. The error you get indicated that you have a class that is not mapped in the OpenAccess metadata. There can be various reasons for this. If you have an Open Access provider that is used to manipulate this persistent type it should declare the assembly where this persistent class is located, this happens in the GetPersistentAssemblies method of the provider. Also is the class marked as persistent with the Persistent attribute?
All the best,

Thank you Ivan for the response. I have made the changes you outlined and I still have the same issue. Here is my model class. You can see that I have it marked with the persistent attribute. I follow the Products module example in the SDK to implement the GetPersistentAssemblies method. I included that code below as well. Any other ideas of what I am missing?

Please let me know if you got to any solution. I have the same issue with Products module: www.sitefinity.com/.../installing-products-module.aspx
I really miss the happiness working with SF3.7 modules - everything was working.
On SF4.1 it takes me 1 day to install a sample module and make it working.
No. I still haven't found a solution. I was hoping to hear back from a the Telerik team, they are normally pretty good at helping you find a solution.
If I find the solution, I will be sure to post it here.
Hi Guys,
I have the same issue with my custom module after upgrading from SF 4.1 to SF 4.1 SP1.
Did you get the following error from OA enhancer in the output window?
MSBUILD : OpenAccess Enhancer warning : No persistent classes found. Is the metadata information missing?
Best regards,
Anton
Hello Anton Mernov,
Can you please show us a piece of your custom module? We need to see how you are declaring your persistent fields and how you perform the fluent mapping.
All the best,

My custom class is not based on Content class.
The VoiceItem class:
[DataContract][ManagerType("KT.VoiceManager, KT")][Persistent(IdentityField = "Id")]public class VoiceItem [DataMember] public Guid Id get; set; [DataMember] public DateTime DateCreated get; set; [DataMember] public Guid OwnerId get; set; [DataMember] public Guid ForUserId get; set; MappingConfiguration<VoiceItem> voiceConfiguration = new MappingConfiguration<VoiceItem>();voiceConfiguration.HasProperty(v => v.Id).IsIdentity();voiceConfiguration.HasProperty(v => v.DateCreated);voiceConfiguration.HasProperty(v => v.OwnerId);voiceConfiguration.HasProperty(v => v.ForUserId);voiceConfiguration.MapType(v => new ).ToTable("kt_voices");Hi Anton Mernov,
The fluent mapping of OA automatically maps fields. From your class I can see that you have auto implemented properties rather than having properties backed by fields. Using your current approach of mapping your properties should be backed by fields having the same names using camelCase naming convention. For example:
[DataMember]public DateTime DateCreated get return this.dateCreated; set this.dateCreated = value.ToUniversalTime(); private DateTime dateCreated;Hi Radoslav,
I've updated my class as you mentioned but I still getting the same warning:
MSBUILD : OpenAccess Enhancer warning : No persistent classes found. Is the metadata information missing?
Any other ideas?
Best regards,
Anton.
@everyone
It seems, something was changed in OpenAccess dlls and OA enhancer from SDK for SF 4.1 no longer works for SF 4.1 SP1. I just downloaded the SDK for SF 4.1 SP1 from my account and installed it.
Now I am able to compile and install my custom module without any errors. I hope this helps.
Best regards,
Anton
Hello,
The OpenAccess version in Sitefinity 4.1 SP1 has been upgraded. This is why you need to use the 4.1 SP1 SDK to enhance your assemblies.
