Discussion Boards

This was a vworker project for a drop-in threaded comment system. The project was done by Rameez Usmani and paid for by me and released under the GPL by me. It is kind of my payback to the community for help I've gotten online and from other open source projects. The project was born out of my frustration due to a complete lack of working threaded comment demos in ASP.NET. jThreadedComments can be added to any page with a gridview or a listview on it, simply by passing it a unique rowID. It's that simple. The code is in C# and the comment database is in MS Access, but it would be simple to port to MS SQL. The main target was Intranet use, as it gets the user name from a session variable and probably would need a fair amount of work to make it safe for the public Internet (dumping the access database for starters). But its a start and better than anything on the Net that I could find.

The source code contains no web.config, global.asax or other special configuration files that would conflict with your existing web site code. To give you a look at other ways to write ASP.NET code, code behind wasn't used. A huge percentage of the code is contained in C# class libraries that implement the System.Web.UI.Page class along with basic HTML in the standard .aspx or script only pages. You'll be able to see how to wire up some of the most common server side events in non ASP.NET project oriented classes that get fired when a page loads. I think you'll find that this coding methodology will make it easy for you to use the code as is, convert it to code behind, or convert it to script only pages.
