I guess "the proof is in the pudding" as they say. I would not mind seeing some of the websites that both DNN and Joomla have created. Appearance is as important as performance...just like would you be comfortable in an Airplane that has broken seats regardless of who designed the air craft. But the features have to be there as well. As I can not be an expert at everything I will have to settle on a few core products and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Why goto Joomla (.PHP) path if you're an "MS fun"? :) Thank you. -- Shamil -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Gustav Brock Sent: 16 ?????? 2011 ?. 20:42 To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: Re: [AccessD] Joomla Hi Jim That depends, but if you are looking for CMS-style systems, at least two top-notch Open Source systems for .NET exist. Composite C1: http://www.composite.net/C1.aspx Umbraco: http://www.umbraco.org They are quite different - and both different from DNN - and I haven't had a need for either of them so I cannot advice further. /gustav >>> accessd at shaw.ca 16-01-2011 18:01 >>> Hi Ken: To be honest, I have never been able to get a client fully self-sufficient and after 30 plus have basically given up on it. ;-) Joomla, like DNN may not be the product I need. So far, when building web sites I use ASP.Net to build the mock up/lay our and then go in and remove the extra pieces (lots and lots of extra pieces as every possible option is code managed), while stuffing in some of my own code. It is not a super fast construction method but it is getting faster and it is quicker than building the whole site from scratch. I do not know if any other person uses this crude hack method but is there a good pre-existing clean frame-work so I do not need to re-invent the wheel.
