Hi Shamil: Most of my experience is also third party but what I have been told is if you are going to work extensively with DNN be really careful with plug-ins and getting too carried away with inserting code. One friend likes it for straight forward sites but has had major crashes when he has wandered off the straight and narrow. On one occasion, he spent close to two weeks before he fixed a problem that he had caused. He found the many dependencies upon dependencies were not easy to follow and fix. That may not be your experience of course.

Subject: Re: [dba-VB] CMS: Umbraco (was: Composite C1 now open source) Hi Jim -- What "certain unforeseen class errors" do you mean? As far as I see from my experience with DNN 4.x and now a bit of experience with DNN 5.x this CMS is very mature; and I know developers who make good business using DNN - I haven't heard from them on "unforeseen class errors"... Thank you. -- Shamil -----Original Message----- From: dba-vb-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-vb-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Jim Lawrence Sent: Sunday, October 03, 2010 4:09 AM To: 'Discussion concerning Visual Basic and related programming issues.' Subject: Re: [dba-VB] CMS: Umbraco (was: Composite C1 now open source) Hi Shamil: You can add, depending on how you wish to deploy it (DNN), certain unforeseen class errors. If you want it clean and simple, community web base database system, no problem but anything fancy be careful and realize that it may take a bit of time to resolve some of the errors... ;-) Jim -----Original Message----- From: dba-vb-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-vb-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Shamil Salakhetdinov Sent: Friday, October 01, 2010 3:11 PM To: 'Discussion concerning Visual Basic and related programming issues.' Subject: Re: [dba-VB] CMS: Umbraco (was: Composite C1 now open source) Hi Gustav -- I have had three main issues with DNN: - slow start-up; - limited built-in localization features; - the need to develop a DNN module for every subject area object (not a big issue to develop a DNN module per se but I thought that many custom modules influence badly start-up time. Also navigation between custom modules was an issue for me when I did learn DNN last year...) But it looks like most of the issues I was concerned about have now a good workarounds with DNN 5.x - and DNN web site can be made speedy enough even when running on a hosted web site - here are a few good examples: http://www.jackandjillholidays.com http://www.apronstagerestaurant.co.uk/Home.aspx http://www.thenewdesigner.co.uk/ The above DNN web sites are running on http://www.pipeten.com (89.248.50.*) Thank you. -- Shamil <<< snip >>> _______________________________________________ dba-VB mailing list dba-VB at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-vb http://www.databaseadvisors.com
