    I don't know of any .NET bugtracker, but you may want to try Mantis[^] (uses php+mysql, which you can install on Windows).

    We used Mantis in my old job. It works reasonably well.

      I used bugtracker.net the last time I was in the market for something like this. I was very happy with its features and customizability. The guy who puts it out is fanatically honest, posting every comparison between his product and others that he can find on the web - even when the final choice is not for Bugtracker.

        I've also used Mantis. It's pretty good, and simple to use.

          Bugtracker.NET at http://ifdefined.com/bugtrackernet.html[^] From that website: BugTracker.NET is a free, open-source, web-based bug tracker or customer support issue tracker written using ASP.NET, C#, and Microsoft SQL Server (or its free cousin, SQL Server Express). I've used it for a year or two now without any problems.

          I used BugTracker.NET a while ago as well. The developer community was just one guy. But it was written in .NET and allowed me to make custom changes in a nice dev environment (I suspect this is the reason you are looking to for a .NET based solution as you don't intend to use it out of the box). If you do intend to use something out of the box then you may want to look at some free hosted bug tracking systems. Now that's very web 2.0 :~

              Trac[^] is very nice (IMO) - it gives you more of a 'project management' website, including a project wiki, timeline and source control integration. It works fine on Windows - it needs Apache, Python, Trac and a couple of Python libraries - I installed it (the first time I installed it anywhere) in about 30 minutes on my Windows laptop.

              You can use (or just play with) TracVM - ready to use VMWare virtual machine, http://www.vmware.com/appliances/directory/377[^]. I use Mantis + DotProject now, but I am going to look at Trac - it seems good to cover more with fewer tools.

                Hey, guys. I may have something coming up where I'll have need for a web based bug tracking system, and given that they're a startup, free / open source is a Good Thing. I looked at Bugzilla since Filezilla is such nice work, but it's Perl / Penguin and I prefer a .NET solution that's more native to the Windows universe. Any suggestions?

                It's possible to run bugzilla under IIS 5.0 and 6.0, i.e. Apache not needed (but it's easier to set up under Apache). The security of IIS 6.0 makes it harder to set up. I did it once but don't have the instructions I wrote (I left the company I did it for), and would struggle to remember them. The fact that it's written in Perl shouldn't matter to you unless you plan to modify the code and can't bear the thought of working with Perl. I've found bugzilla to be a good tool - it satisfied my requirements and didn't cause any trouble.

                      There is one feature in BugTracker.NET that is just great. There is a windows application that captures the screen and you can draw on it and send directly to the bug tracker. Here, we changed a few lines on this C++ application so now it does not need any configuration file to run. Every single user here has this app installed on their machine.

                            Try BugTracker.NET[^]. We use it here. It's very customizable and database driven so you can add assigned users, priorities, catageories, projects, and a slew of other sorting/filtering/organizing fields. You can even put colors and font attributes to these fields (background, foreground, whatever). So, you can make, say, Urgent bugs standout from the rest. We like it. Draugnar

                              There's BugTracker.NET. I'm not too sure of its quality, especially since it seems to be just one guy writing/supporting it, but it is written in C#, it's free, open-source, and uses an ASP.NET front-end with MS SQL Server on the back-end. Wade

                                  If your needs are basic, I've successfully used Issue Tracker from the ASP.NET startup kits. Grabbed source (C# or VB.NET) and built the DB. It's a .Net based web solution. Supports multiple projects and assignment of projects by user, etc. Flexibility to tweak code -- code base is relatively small. Basic, but works. http://www.asp.net/downloads/archived/starter-kits/issue-tracker Ri-

                                      Dangerous statement my friend. A web based system should be language and system agnostic. I am sure you have a sacrificial box somewhere that can run linux, I have a few. Look for one that integrates bug tracking into your ticketing and source control system. I have used an expensive and slow system from IBM like that once. And other than the poor implementation the idea was brilliant.

                                      Although I agree philosophically, the realities of the matter are that I need a web based system that my clients can also access, and my hosting platform is MS technologies.

                                          I am using Issue Manager [^] which is simple, painless and works well for our needs.
