Forum Board
-
Hi, Where can I get source code of a Forum Board that uses Access as the back-end database? I have looked through several, but can't find any that uses Access as the database. Any links or ideas? Thanks...

Converting the ASP.NET Forums from SQL Server to Access won't be as easy of a task as you make it sound. Unless it's changed since the last time I saw it, the forums use a lot of stored procedures, which would have to be moved to a data access layer. This conversion may not be that big of a deal, but don't expect it to be an easy task without looking into it first. Michael Flanakin Web Log

All I said is that it COULD be done. I didn't say anything about how easy/hard it would be, and I have seen the source for ASP.NET Forums. Anyway, looking at the source of a few boards would also give him some ideas about what needs to be done to get his own Access database backend up and running. From looking at the design of existing databases, he could use them as models to design and build his own Access backend. Although, in my opinion, it would be much easier to just install and use the MSDE. RageInTheMachine9532

True. But, that depends on the purpose. There will probably be licensing issues. I don't know much about it, but MSDE isn't supposed to be for production use, as far as I know. Michael Flanakin Web Log
