I do some volunteer work with a small non-profit that has just made the
commitment to keep all their desktop and web pages on VB and/or VB.NET.
Their existing environment includes a mix of ASP and PHP. They use SQL
Server 2000 as their DB. They need to replace a couple of capabilities
currently provided by PHP code and I am looking to pointers for products
and/or articles on how to build this type of service in .NET
1. The have a News service. An authorized user can go to a "New News
Article" page and enter a title, date, and the text of the article and click
on a "Post" button. The 6 most recent article titles and dates are listed on
their home page and clicking on a title opens the full article. Web users
can click on a "News Archive" to browse through older articles. I don't
think this would be hard to write from scratch but would like to see other
implementations.
2. A mass mailing system. Authorized users can select categories of clients
(e.g. Ticket Purchaser, Unit Representative, Sponsor, etc.) and send HTML
formatted email. They would like the ability to include CCs and BCCs.
Another option would be to have the package work through their existing
email program (mostly Outlook) where they can add CCs and such.
Any pointers appreciated.
