My project involves installing a forum into a current asp.net 2.0 web site. It was created with Microsoft Visual Web Developer with VB and SQL 2005 express locally and SQL 2005 on the host. 1. Is this a good choice for the forum software since there is no support for SQL2005? 2. Since it will combined with other web site pages, what issues will I have to face?
SQL Server 2005 Express will work fine. On the 2nd question, the forum will work fine by itself. what kind of combination issues are you talking about?
Thanks for your help. I have a fully functioning ASP.NET 2.0 site with a SQL 2005 database that I want to add/combine the forum to. There would be a link on the home page. I would like to avoid setting up a sub-site if possible.
SQL Server 2005 works great. I run a non-Express version and have had no issues. I do have a chat room from Chatspace (they have a free version - Akiva is the company) and it runs only on SQL 2000, so have not integrated them yet. That is my goal one of these days. Too busy with consulting work to find time.
