[dba-VS] ASP.NET MVC: Retrieve HTML encoded content

[Jim Lawrence]

Hi Doug:

I took the liberty to check out the San Diego website. It looks good and clean.

I do have a couple of Windows servers but they appear to be running a lot slower these days...it is probably just perception. I would like to try and run up DNN virtual/mono on a fast Linux server and then maybe, if everything can be made to work, port it into a Cloud droplet. ($5.00 a month is pretty cheap, the room adequate, the processing power is more than enough but the broadband throughput is incredible).

I have been looking for information on installing DNN on Linux. There are lots of posts but they are all dated back to 2005? What is going on? Did people start losing interest? Has Microsoft stopped supporting the project or started supporting some other application? Do you have any good current links?

Jim

Jim,

My only experience is with Windows server, hosted sites. Have used on Arvixe, and Godaddy hosting. There is lots of info on the DNN forums, much of the info is from the folks who maintain the  Open Source version. I have used several of the commercial extensions. The ones we used were reasonably priced. We used one of the commercial skin packages to get a nice look to our site. The site I put together for our, now pretty much defunct user group AUGSD.org was one of the built in skins.

That is about all I can help you with. 

Doug

Is there an easy cost effective path to ASP.NET MVC development? Is the product complex to deploy or is it user-friendly? How good is the product's performance and what sort of resources are necessary to roll out a server, that supports it? Are the add-ons cheap, expensive or complex; printer interface, Adobe pages? Does it accommodate other languages? Does this product deploy on Linux servers? Does it have interfaces to other data servers other than just MS SQL? Is there end-to-end encryption built is? 

Sorry to hit you with all these questions but you seem to be the first expert that I have run into. My other friends have dabbled with it but they are hardly experts. 

Aside: Many of my younger friends who are in still the business, work exclusively in Linux and just glaze over when I mention Microsoft. So I am one of these people that still has a foot in both camps. Most of the old guys, like me, are basically out of the business and the younger ones couldn't care less.

Sorry, didn't look at the subject. Don't think DNN incorporates MVC. The version I used uses web forms.

Are there any mainstream CMSs made in .Net, that are inexpensive?

Hi Scott

No ... but it certainly looks neat. Except that I don't do PHP.

I'll keep the link, should anyone ask me about a handy CMS.

Hi all

I'm working with a small low-traffic website that mostly will contain pages (partial views) with text like articles - title, subtitle, body perhaps with some links and lists.
Much like a miniature CMS, but while the layout will be fixed, the content may have to be edited over time.

My first thought was simply to store the content stubs in discrete text files which easily could be replaced without rebuilding the site, but just naming these files quickly will be a mess, I think.
Then I thought of a database, but isn't that overkill? Also, that will require an "admin" section or separate app or the like to edit the content, and then the project suddenly escalates.

So is there something in between simple files and a database, that my lack of fantasy is leaving out?

I also thought of XML files, which I have used before with some success, but that was for traditional data storage, not text blocks.

Further, how do you go about editing the content as HTML? I will only need basic attributes like bold, link, and list. Do you write up the content in an HTML editor, save this, and then retrieve it as raw HTML?
