I'm working on several ASP.NET ecommerce projects where we're using Aspdotnetstorefront solution. It is not so bad. It has a lot of useful features, it is extensible, it is stable, but... the source code is like nightmare. If you need customize something - it becomes a problem for you, because you need to change it in several places and always keep it in mind.
Can anyone suggest some better solution?
roll your own? there are several start up projects available from microsoft or i have heard that dotshoppingcart is supposed to be good but i have not used it myself. I would advise diy as then you will know what is happening in the code
http://www.asp.net/community/projects look for ecommerce
Your choice will probably depend on whether you want c# or vb, webforms or MVC etc.
If you want webforms like aspdotnetstorefront then try
Kartris (codeplex)
It's free and open source. Nopcommerce is popular if you want MVC

I am currently working with a classic asp application. We are looking to upgrade this in small phases to .NET. what I mean by small phases is page by page over an extended period of time.
I want to minimize impact to users. So upgrade pages but keeping the look the same for now. The classic asp app is all frames based so I think i could keep the look and run the upgraded page and point to the new page?
My questions are, what is the best method in doing this in peoples experience? Again I want to build this in .NET so I don't know if i would be best off using MVC or asp.net? would utilizing a particular framework make any difference here?
Those folks who have went through this pain in the past what were some gotchyas in upgrading and running a newer technology with an older technology? I would imagine i shouldn't have to much heartache in running these together.
Any additional things we should think about?
Thanks for the assistance.
MVC provides more control and flexibility. You can use .cshtml page to insert html code and use model variables (#Model.xxx with Razor) defined in your .cs code. You can easily display list box, combo box and other controls. Besides it does not require AJAX.

I'm implementing a captcha system using this code: http://www.thomasmoore.it/webdesign/asp/captcha.asp
As you can see in that page there is an example of image with alphanumeric characters.
Below an example:
I would like to understand if that image is strong enough or not.
Do you know if there are scripts that can break it?
Thank you!
I don't know how answer your question but i suggest using controls that have been used and tested before..like recaptcha
I wouldn't use it, not because it's not safe, but because it's not accessible. What if your users use screenreaders? Stay with an accessible solution such as recaptcha and make your users happy ;)
As for the security, mine may be a controversial opinion, but I think it doesn't matter so much. Why? because if an attacker is serious about breaking your site, they can use the Mechanical Turk or one of the bazillion online services that offers to solve any captcha by hand for a really low price. Of course a good captcha is one more barrier for them to break, but don't trust them too much.

I'm creating a diving community, but I don't know if I should use Drupal or to create my community all on myself in PHP. I've never used Drupal and so I don't know how to create a theme. I have a design already. I also need a forum.
Any ideas?
Kind Regards
Drupal is great for community websites - but its a steep learning curve. If you know enough PHP to create your own site then you should be fine to get started with Drupal though. Why not install it and have a bit of a play?
Forums in Drupal are a bit average, but PHPBB integrates pretty well, and there are contributed modules out there to ease the integration somewhat.
Theming is a non-trivial task as well - but there are heaps of online tutorials like this one: http://www.lullabot.com/videos/advanced-theming-drupal-7 which explain a lot of the technical stuff. If you want to jump in, just start looking at the Bartik theme that comes with D7 out of the box. Again, dependent on your experience you should follow much of the broader idea of whats happening by following the code.
I'd also recommend (if you like to read paper rather than screens) pro drupal development (there is a Drupal 6 version, and a current Drupal 7 version as well). This book explains everything to a very fine detail and my copy is well and truly dog-eared from use.
Hope that helps in some way
Cheers
Steve

I am trying to use the Scott Allen's ChartBuilder class, but I can't find it anywhere, I tried googling and go through a guide, but it links to msdn page which doesn't exist anymore
Does anyone still have that class?
Short answer:
You can download the project here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13430676/Charting.zip
Long answer:
The download was lost during one of the dozen or so redesigns, reorganizations, and upgrades of the MSDN web site, team, and magazine staff. I've tried to let them know, and also tried to fix this myself. Unfortunately, fixing the link seems to require a GUID value which is unknown to me, and GUIDs turn out to be notoriously difficult to guess. I'll keep trying, but in the meantime I've put it up for download from my Dropbox account.
Hope that helps...

I am developing a travels related website using cakephp. I have to put some tour itinerary/special vacation campaign etc. on it almost everyday. The template/format remain the same, just the content changes. So, I am guessing that I can use some content management system like Wordpress/Joomla here.
Till now I had been working mainly on static pages only, but from now I will work on including search functions, forums, members area, polls, etc. in the website.
Can somebody tell me if switching to these CMS technologies is a good idea?
Regards
Joomla would be apt for you. Because Its going to be something like a website. Hence you can choose joomla, also there are lot of joomla templates available, you can customise to your needs.
Wordpress would not be right for you since its a blogging tool. Unless until you need blogging functionality you need not have wordpress.
There is also something like drupal,
You may read here for better clarity here
Yes, it is really a good idea. Using already built CMS saves time and increases the customization. For Wordpress, there are thousands of plugin which can transform WP into a CMS.
Also, security will be good if a CMS is used. You will get regular updates for stability.
Check this page: Need a simple CMS. Should I customise an existing CMS or build from scratch?
