Winn .NET Guestbook

I am in the process of building a sweet little open source Guestbook in VB.NET 3.5. This guestbook will be dramatically updated from the original Winn ASP Guestbook. At that time I will drop all support for the ASP guestbook and remove it from my server. The ASP guestbook has had a good run and has been downloaded 11,281 times! I hope that the new .NET version will have great success in its place.

What will you need to host the new guestbook? For starters you will need .NET 3.5, then you may load the database file in Access or SQL 2005 or newer. Watch the project tab for more info.

.NET Winn Guestbook v1.0

Say welcome to the Winn Guestbook in .NET 3.5 VB. I have released version 1.0, this is a bare bones release with nothing but the basics. This is a nice upgrade if your running the old Winn ASP Guestbook in ASP Classic. You will need to make sure your server is running .NET 3.5 and supports SQL Express or has an SQL server.

I dont plan on writing a porting script that would transition all your posts from the old ASP Classic version to the new .NET version, this will need to be done by hand.

Guestbook in .NET?

Yes, i have started a “port” of my popular Guestbook in .NET 3.5 VB. This is an update of the “Winn ASP Guestbook” witch is currently un-supported and built in ASP classic. The new version will maintain most of the current specs, including new ones such as; adding users, adding admin users, theming, and more. I am still building the Google project page so i will keep you up to date!

The first planed push will be version 1.0 with very basic and limited features. The rest of the features will be implemented and tested for version 1.5.
