Web Forum

[Marek Krzeminski]

I would like to create a web forum for my website, where people can come and
post/read messages.

I'd like to use Asp.NET to do this.

Does anyone know of sample code or a dev. kit that I can look at to start.
Maybe there already exists a free forum that I can modify to suit my needs.

Help!

The Community Server Forums are ideal for you:

I translated them to spanish ( address in signature... )

Hi,

Have a look at the source code of CommunityPortal Kit from www.asp.net.

Cheers,

While the P2P site is quite interesting, and a good resource,
they don't offer "sample code or a dev. kit for a forums
application", which is what Marek is asking for.

thanks for the advice.

I was also able to find:
http://forum.snitz.com/default.asp
http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Home/tabid/510/Default.aspx

in addition to
http://www.telligentsystems.com/Solutions/Forums/

Does anyone have comments on these. Are any of these better/worse then the
others?

They each have their strong points and weaknesses.

The main thing to consider is whether you want/need
a stand-alone forum application, like the Community
Server Forums and Snitz, or whether you want a
full portal-like application like the Portal Starter Kit
and DotNetNuke.

That's should be your first consideration.
Then testing them, to see if they fill your needs, comes next.

btw, the Community Server Forums comes in both flavors.

There's a stand-alone Forum app, and a version which
includes the Forums, which also include an NNTP interface,
a Picture Gallery and Blog hosting.
