Anyone use the IBuySpy Portal to make a web site?
-
I'm looking for an ASP.NET portal framework. so far I've come across the following two IBuySpy Portal and Cubic Compass[^] one is free and the other is $5000 per licence - guess which I'm going to plump for if these are my only options. Any other options that might be available?

I am using IBuySpy portal and extended it. Have a look here: http://eurohost.webmatrixhosting.net/lkempe/ Best Regards, Laurent Kempé [Microsoft .NET MVP] Visit my web site Tech Head. --- Old programmers never die, they just branch to a new address.

Nice! What did you add that was not with the basic set up? How easy did you find it to extend it? Why did you chose that portal framework over the others (if there are any)?

We download the IBuySpy e-commerce sample and pulled it apart to see how the MS boys though ASP.NET should be used, but we did not actually try and extend it. I thought it was a great way to learn ASP.NET :)

I have added a guestbook, hit counter, an article module (developed using OlyMars), a left menu, a per users module view, show module on all page, new title module (still working on a way to show/hide module, like on MSDN)... It is really easy to extend. If you want to add modules, then it is just a matter of creating user controls. If there are using data you must extend the db and the DAL and thats it. I choosed it because it is free of charge and well designed.

Cape Town, South AfricaI extended it. Have a look to the answer I made to Shaun. For sure it is a good way to learn and excercice ASP.NET and C# or VB.NET. Best Regards, Laurent Kempé [Microsoft .NET MVP] Visit my web site Tech Head. --- Old programmers never die, they just branch to a new address.

I also extended the XML/XSL module to be able to call a Web Service. Best Regards, Laurent Kempé [Microsoft .NET MVP] Visit my web site Tech Head. --- Old programmers never die, they just branch to a new address.
