i have worked with some cool open source applications which are based on microsoft .net framework and i thought of sharing them with you.
DotNetNuke
URL: http://www.dotnetnuke.com
DotNetNuke® is
the most widely adopted framework for building websites and web
applications on Microsoft ASP.NET. Using DotNetNuke, businesses can
quickly develop and deploy interactive, dynamic websites, intranets,
extranets and applications.
With hundreds of thousands of deployments around
the world, a thriving user community and a huge array of available
third-party extensions DotNetNuke is the smartest way to develop and
deploy Internet applications.
YetAnotherForum
URL: http://www.yetanotherforum.net/
YetAnotherForum.NET (YAF) is a Open Source discussion forum or bulletin board system
for web sites running ASP.NET. The latest version is ASP.NET v2.0 with a Microsoft
SQL Server backend. The full C# source code is available licensed as GPL.
Oxite
URL: http://visitmix.com/Lab/Oxite
Oxite is an open source, web standards compliant, blog engine built
on ASP.NET MVC. It is fully featured and includes support for all the
blogging features you would expect.
Born out of a necessity to showcase Microsoft’s muscle in the
blogging scene, Oxite provides example of ‘core blog functionality’ in
a reusable way. The entire VisitMIX site
runs on Oxite, which just shows the potential quality of the finished
product. I love the effort that they have put into the design of MIX,
and for once, we are able to show others a production Microsoft site
running a Microsoft product that really shines visually.
nopCommerce
URL: http://www.nopcommerce.com/
Running on C# nopCommerce is a fully customizable shopping cart.
It’s stable and highly usable. nopCommerce is a open source e-commerce
solution that is ASP.NET 3.5 based with a MS SQL 2005 backend database.
It is pretty feature packed when you take a look around the system,
and should serve as a good platform to build on for some developers.
Whilst they aren’t over on the MVC system they have taken care of some
of the problems with querystrings, and include a URL rewrite module.
Most developers should be able to get up and running quickly, simply
change your web.config in a few places and the autoinstaller should get
you going. well worth investigating if you are a .NET developer with a
background in e-commerce.
BlogEngine.NET
URL: http://dotnetblogengine.net
BlogEngine.NET
is an stable open source .NET blogging project. Touted as the next
alternative to Wordpress for .NET developers it integrates the best
features of the .NET platform into its offering. It also has received
backing from Redmond, and is featured on the Microsoft.NET website as a Starter Kit.
