List Of Free / Open Source ASP.NET Web Applications

Monday, July 07, 2008

As a big ASP.NET advocate, I'm loving the recent surge in open source / free ASP.NET applications that are hitting the web - And what's more because Microsoft have given us some great building foundations with the frameworks like the ASP.NET Membership Provider, a lot of these open source programs are very high quality!  More so than some of the paid applications.

I thought it would be a good idea to create an ever growing list of all the open source ASP.NET applications I could find - Obviously I haven't had chance to download or install every application so I can't vouch for them
