Note: no this does NOT mean that there will be a Snitz.NET version tomorrow or even next month !
How about the next 3 months? Seriously, I hope Snitz version 4 comes out soon. I have been waiting for it, as much as for the .NET framework, because my project depends on both
If we were to have a Snitz.NET, I would think it would be better to start from scratch. That way .NET would be fully utilized. Remember, Snitz Forums 2000 was started as a way to learn ASP, as much as it was to develop an ASP Message Board.
Beware that it's a whole new way of thinking... You can throw away a lot of your current ASP ways of programming. I'm getting into the ASP.NET stuff now, which is good for me because I'm not fully ingrained with "Classic ASP", so starting from scratch won't kill me. To fully utilize it's benefits though, ya really need to think differently. Looks like really cool stuff, though...

Yes to the whole new way of thinking remark and Yes to the cool stuff part. That is why Richard said that Snitz.NET would mean starting from scratch. Throw 90% of what we know about building a forum overboard and start by drawing out a completely new framework (extendible). But then you could build something.....
<grin> I think it'd be great to build a Snitz.NET from scratch. I'm learning ASP.NET stuff for work right now, and can't wait to use it. I'd definitely get involved in helping code for that!
Just make sure that any book about .NET that you buy is at least about the beta 2 (NOT the beta 1). Better yet, wait a couple of months until the books get updated to this final/1.0 release. Until then I would stick to the online examples, most of them get updated faster.
I bought the ASP+ preview book by WROX, and though I have about 10 books published by them and usually think they are the best, this one allready had become useless by the time I bought it because the beta 2 had been released with lots of syntax changes.
