Finally managed to setup a DNN website. You can view it at http://b2blink.advisor.pl (unfortunately only in Polish). Still have problems with setting up rss feeds, which are always empty and i have no idea why.

I also did some iis gardening and it turned out that setting the worker thread limit too high isn’t such a good idea after all. It causes spawning new threads and it takes ages to load application.

Started playing with DotNetNuke last week. It’s an open source portal system, similiar to phpnuke.

I must admit I find DNN very interesting. It even allows very deep localization which is very useful for polish customers. Hopefully I’ll be able to present a production grade website built upon this framework for our company.

The only glitch I encountered is using serching, every time I get an “object reference not found” exception. I even tried adding a custom page with search results module embedded but it didn’t help. I guess it will take me some time.

Finally arrived – enterprise library 2.0. It’s just an “interim community drop” but works fine for me.

The most important feature for me is compatibility with asp.net. You can add sections to your web.config and run a website inside visual studio in debug mode. That’s very nice!
