Because the 20+ minutes it takes to build is making me suicidal! How was this thing ever developed in the first place?

Curious, what kind of changes do you have to make where you have to recompile the core? The last time I had to rebuild the core, it did not seem to take that long. Version 4.5 was the last one I used, but still have several sites running on it.

I am developing a small module that consumes a web service. So when the web service needs to be updated, the whole site seems to recompile... I also tried making a library for the web service client, but as soon as the assembly gets updated, DNN recompiles itself in it's entirety! I am using VS2008.

I am specifically talking about extending, and the pain that goes with that. Once it runs, it runs fine, but I cant wait 20 minutes for the site to compile every time I make a tiny change.

Care to enrich me with some info too?

IronScheme - 1.0 alpha 4a out now (29 May 2008)Well - so far they haven't reported any major issues. It seems extensible enough, and relatively stable.

You got me all excited only to find out Joomla runs on PHP... :doh:

IronScheme - 1.0 alpha 4a out now (29 May 2008)OK - if ASP.NET is your criteria, there's always Kentico CMS - although you have to pay for this one.

IronScheme - 1.0 alpha 4a out now (29 May 2008)The way we had it implemented, it would not have to compile the core more than once. Ever. The things that did compile were the DNN website, which references the DNN libraries, and our custom modules, which we wrote in C#. We had one VS solution that was the core, and one VS solution that had the website and custom modules in it. We worked really hard to not modify the core, or at least keep our changes documented and short so that when the next version came out (which it did about every 6-8 weeks), we could upgrade without any problems. I would suggest trying our solution to your problem: splitting up your VS solutions into core DNN libraries and the website with custom modules.

This is the way a large project I'm working on is structured. The only time we need a whole recompile is when interfaces or web service method signatures change between projects.

Anything else you can suggest? Any extensable .NET based (preferably C#) CMS would do.

IronScheme - 1.0 alpha 4a out now (29 May 2008)Here's an ASP.NET CMS I found out about recently: http://www.sitecore.net/Products/Sitecore%20CMS.aspx[^] No mention of price though... could be more than 20k, could be less :doh:

IronScheme - 1.0 alpha 4a out now (29 May 2008)Yeah I'm also curious... asp.net open source CMS are in much shorter supply. There's AxCMS[^] and Umbraco[^] though... not sure how they stack up. Also a directory listing here: http://www.411asp.net/home/webapps/content[^]
