I'm looking at collating mine and a few friends photos on our own stock photo site.. To save me some time I was wondering if anyone knew of a good stock photo app built in ASP.NET??
I have googled and not come up with much.. Looking for the ability for people to be able to buy from the site and the images watermarked so people can't steal them :)
Gallery Source Pro is an open source app that might be worth looking into. I played around with the compiled version briefly, but I had major issues using the open source code application on a 64-bit top-bottom machine and gave up. It does seem fairly flexible and I believe it can watermark images.
Phanfare is built in .NET, but they are a commercial outfit. There is a public API available, so you may get some joy....

My internet connection is really sketchy where I live, so I downloaded this website. The website is a question bank for all of my classes. It is really helpful so have it offline so I used a program called HTTRack to mirror the website to my desktop. Most of the questions I need are math and science based, so the code for the website has a lot of rendered math.
The problem is, the math isn't rendering in my offline copy. The math seems to render fine in the online version here: https://www.ibdocuments.com/IB%20QUESTIONBANKS/4.%20Fourth%20Edition/questionbank.ibo.org/en/teachers/00000/questionbanks/7-dp-mathematics-hl/questions/4504.html, but I don't know why I am unable to render it as well. I would've been able to solve it if I had the knowledge to code with these, but this is all very new to me and I have never worked with web files before.
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated!
I am a developer who has no experience working with CRM systems. I want to build a simple system using SuiteCRM. But I can't find a single tutorial for SuiteCRM in the internet. Believe me I spent several days searching for tutorials but I couldn't find. The official Userguides documentation is absolutely useless for development purposes. I found this book SuiteCRM For Developers but it is not suitable for a beginner. And it doesn't cover most of the basic stuff. Please suggest me a good tutorial(document/video) which covers topics such as creating custom entities(operations with custom entities), workflows and REST api.
If you're new to CRM world, as I was a couple of years ago, Id suggest doing the following:
Get a copy of SugarCRM for Dummies. It gives you an overview of the built in modules and functions of SugarCRM.
Watch how-to videos on SugarCRM for more in-depth details on particular modules.
Get a copy of SuiteCRM for Developers by Jim Mackin. This was a game changer for me. it's straight forward but breaks down the essentials of SuiteCRM.
From there, it's all about googling and practice. The more you play with the code, the more it starts making sense.
Welcome to world of CRM !!
First learn the flow of modules which are available in CRM and then go ahead with the development part. So I will suggest you to learn SugarCRM first. As coding standards and execution flow of SuiteCRM and SugarCRM is same.
Download SugarCRM CE
Install the CRM in your machine as described here
Once installed play with modules. Getting_Started SugarCRM
Take an overview on admin features of SugarCRM as described in detail here
Try to create new modules as per described here
I've been digging into some SUiteCRM work also lately, and the SugarCRM info is very helpful. The SuiteCRM forums have been getting some more traction lately.
https://suitecrm.com/forum/developer-help/10338-how-to-create-a-custom-module-from-scratch
I am also going to buy this book, looks like a great resource! https://leanpub.com/suitecrmfordevelopers
This book you mention (https://leanpub.com/suitecrmfordevelopers) is worth investing in. It's the right stuff in one place.
SugarCRM resources and references are ok, however, SuiteCRM and SugarCRM are gradually going in different directions. If you rely on forums and generic blogs, even SOF, the 'Sugar' solution not always maps to a suite-solution. It can be close, but that last 5% of difference can be a headache to work through.
Anyhow, that's my plug/recommendation for that book.
I am designing a light-weight accounting application that suits small to medium
business (eg .shops), any reference to materials that help or ideas from anyone who did this kind of software before would be great.
NOTE : reference to a (C# preferably) library would be great.
There are many open-source accounting applications out there; i'm not sure if this one was done in c# but here's a link:
FrontAccounting(accounting software) Note: This one is a web-app.
The links for downloading the software are all the way at the bottom of the page in the "references" section. Hope that helps!
List of other accounting softwares(open source):
Other Softwares Scroll down to "Finance".
Try to keep it generic as possible and consider the adoption a plugin framework to forsee further extension. A good business analysis eventually is a prerequisite.
I work in a shop that is mostly .NET based, and we're trying to pick out a content management system to use. This means we mostly likely won't be able to use any of the common open source CMS projects (Plone, phpNuke, anthing not based on .NET, etc.).
Since I'm a huge usability nerd (just finished reading The Design of Everyday Things by Norman), I've been looking at them from that point of view. Frankly, I haven't been too impressed. This quote sums it up:
Most open source content management software is useless. The only thing worse is every commercial CMS I’ve used. - Jeffrey Veen
Here's a short list of our requirements:
Has to be .NET based
Prefer open source or on the inexpensive side
Limited feature set (we don't need too many features and they make things harder to use)
Does need Active Directory integration and robust permissions
Should be focused on web standards and usability
I know it's probably an impossible feature list, but are there any content management systems that kinda sorta look like they might not suck more than a Dyson?
Edit:
Here's the current situation:
I'm going to push for N2. I've got Active Directory integration working well (I even wrote a custom role provider). The only thing missing is workflow functionality. Hopefully I can get something going with that since it's the last sticking point. The N2Contrib project might provide a starting point if I can figure it out.
I would still love to check out Stencil CMS if/when it gets off the ground.
One of my co-workers was trying to get Umbraco going but wasn't having much luck.
Thanks for the help!
Self-plug is lame, but what you're describing is pretty much exactly what I am getting ready to release for $79 a pop. If you're still looking in a few weeks, take a peek. If you'd like, shoot me an email (rex#stencilcms.com).
I've heard both positive and negative feedback about Umbraco. A lot of people like Graffiti, but it's more blog-oriented than a full-blown CMS.
Check out N2 (http://n2cms.com/). I think that it covers most, if not all, of your requirements (I don't think it has Active Directory capability at this time). We are using N2 and I have really enjoyed how flexible it has been.
My company just completed a review of several commercial .NET-based CMS/portal platforms and, while I can't reveal who was in them (thanks, NDAs!), I can tell you that IMO they all sucked very, very badly.
Good luck on your search. I'll keep an eye on this thread in the hopes that there's something we missed.
We had a similar set of requirements and chose Telerik Sitefinity. It's got it's faults but overall I've been happy with it so far.
Unfortunately Jeffery speaks the truth. Which is probably why I build a new custom cms from the ground up every few years. Basically, the motivation for "boxed" CMS packages is to have every feature on earth and be everything to everyone and therefore do nothing particularly well for anyone. With the feature bloat comes the usability nightmares. Unless you start customizing and then you usually end up forking the project and losing the advantage of community updates.
Kentico CMS according your list:
Has to be .NET based
It's .net based, .NET Framework 2.0 or later
Prefer open source or on the inexpensive side
Free edition which can be used for commercial purposes is available, paid license starts at $750, source code is an option
Limited feature set (we don't need too many features and they make things harder to use)
Many built-in modules/features, anyway they can be easily disabled to keep the UI simple to use
Does need Active Directory integration and robust permissions
AD, Forms and Live Id! Integration
Should be focused on web standards and usability
UTF-8 Support including RTL languages, WAI Compliant, XHTML Compliant, XML, XHTML, HTML, XSLT, CSS.

This is a good AutoCAD programming blog in general. FYI, DWG Trueview is free. I don't know if the COM interface is still accessible but it's worth a try.
You could try using the software available from the Open Design Alliance.
Open Design Alliance
The last time that I was trying to use the DWG TrueView program (connecting to the COM interface) it was pretty flaky, things might have improved.
