Questions on ASP.NET Starter Kits: Community

I've studied Portal, Report, whose whitepaper can tell the mechanism at the
first time, but Community is different.

I succeeded in localizing the page to chinese, but that experience didn't
make it clear to me, what's the mechanism of request handling?

browsers request for http://localhost/community/default.aspx , in fact it
doesn't return the true default.aspx content(because this file is designed
to one installtion error page, if installation failed, user got it)

I checked the file: web.config, there is something like:
<pagePaths>
<add key="basePage" value="/communityDefaul t.aspx" />
</pagePaths>

in my opinion, Community has some great feature over Portal and other kits,
however, drawbacks accompany of course.

I hope somebody will help me. thanks.

Hi Edward:

Here is the executive summary:

Most of the content for the community starter kit resides in the
database. The CSK uses an HttpHandler to intercept incoming requests.
It inspects the URL trying to be reached and determines what
community, section, and piece of content the request is trying to
reach. Using a technique called URL rewriting, it then internally
processes the request using the communityDefaul t.aspx page by
dyamically loading content and user controls into the page and sending
a response back to the user.

The CSK approach extremely flexible but it does take some time to get
your head around what is going on. The site in my signature is built
using the CSK with some modifications. There is also a book available
about the CSK (I'm a co-author):

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1904811000/

Feel free to post more questions if you want some more detail.

I'm looking at the docs in VS2005 regarding starter kits and I noticed that the starter kits to download from the site are in vsi files (compressed), all except the shareware starter kit. MS docs says that templates should be in compressed files. The Shareware starter kit is in msi file so when you install it you get a solution that includes some other projects, but it does not appear in the templates when you want to start a new project....

Hi I know it may be a little early in the proceedings, and ASP.NET 2.0 is not yet released, but does anyone know if there are any ASP>NET 2.0 versions of the Starter kits that were released with ASP.NET 1.0? I would just like to get a feel for how things should be done, as I'm going to install the next Beta when its released.

Hello, This should be very basic but i'm having hard time finding the C# version of the starter kits.

I went to download the starter kits from http://www.asp.net/vwd/starterkits.aspx?tabIndex=4&tabId=46 but the .vsi file does extract in 8,3 file format and when i open the project i do not

I am having a problem installing the starter kits. I have reinstalled VS 2005, think that might be the problem. I then installed both 'Personal Website" and the "Club Website" starter kits. I still have the same problem. Any web starter kit that is installed under 'My Templates" does not allow you to enter the location directory or use the browse button. Neither the "Personal Website" or the "Club Website" allows you to select the...

Hi, Yes, I'm one of the lonely ones who hasn't upgraded to VS2005.NET. Does anyone know where in MSDN, the code for the Starter-Kits for VS2003.NET? It seems like MSDN is very nicely ignoring VS2003.NET and the old .NET 1.1 framework. Thanks Ahead, Allan

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
