#programming #cms #net
  • I am also going to suggest DotNetNuke. Not sure what you have against VB.NET. It's just as powerful as C#, as they are both based on the same framework and get compiled into the same IL code. Also, the DNN core is written in VB.NET but you wouldn't normally change the core to implement new functionality. You would write a DNN module which extends core functionality. Modules could be written in any .NET language, it doesn't have to be VB.NET.

    Recently I also ran into this .NET-based CMS - mojoPortal - Home , it is written in C# and looks quite powerful as well but DNN is definetely more mature and managed by a big community. They publish books and everything

    Good luck!
  • DNN is a good one and has heavy community support. After coding both Umbraco and DNN I've come to prefer Umbraco - umbraco.org. It's also open-source. Clean, streamlined, very flexible and enthusiastically supported by it's growing community.

    For a proprietary cms you might consider Sitefinity. It has a slick management interface and the extra goodies (or crap depending on your viewpoint) such as event management, etc. that Umbraco doesn't have and that is typical of many content management systems.

    • Hi guys,

      Thanks for your posts...Ya, DNN is pity good..Recently I developed a site in DNN and its a shopping cart site and I designed a manual cart in it...

      The url is mystrongid [dot] [com]

      I really find difficult to integrate some shipping and payment modules in it...It will be better that any CMS in .NET that is best for a shopping site with some built in modules and strong admin panel....

      Will be thankful if any one suggest any idea.......

      Thank you....
  • why .NET ?
  • Mojoportal was mentioned which I see kinda, sorta has e-commerce capabilities built-in but is not yet feature-complete. Other than that most of the open-source .net content management systems require you to install an extension for shopping cart functionality.

    Maybe consider an asp.net shopping cart system that does some content management as opposed to a content management system that does ecommerce? Dashcommerce and Nopcommerce come to mind. Nopcommerce in particular is well-architected and is coded in C#.

    • Depends on what you want to do. DNN is a great all rounder and is the grandfather. But for e-commerce I'd take a look at aspdotnetstorefront which kills anything DNN has to offer (but does integrate well with DNN). A cheaper and up and coming alternative for e-commerce is vevo cart.

      As a general .net CMS you could also look at umbraco, N2 CMS or mojoPortal. Umbraco getting the most focus in recent times.
