I started looking for free/open-source ASP.NET applications to run on my development instance of IIS (since IIS is already running on my machine), and stumbled upon this list today:
As a big ASP.NET advocate, I’m loving the recent surge in open source / free ASP.NET applications that are hitting the web – And what’s more because Microsoft have given us some great building foundations with the frameworks like the ASP.NET Membership Provider, a lot of these open source programs are very high quality! More so than some of the paid applications.
I thought it would be a good idea to create an ever growing list of all the open source ASP.NET applications I could find – Obviously I haven’t had chance to download or install every application so I can’t vouch for them
Notable applications:
- DotNetNuke – http://www.dotnetnuke.com
- DasBlog – http://www.dasblog.info
- FlexWiki – http://www.flexwiki.com
- ASP.NET Small Business Web Site Starter Kit – http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/cc533514.aspx
