AuctionSite Starterkit Alpha Release

Just a quick plug to the community.  I've gotten to the Alpha release of my AuctionSite Starterkit and have published a release on Codeplex

http://www.codeplex.com/auctionsk

It's designed and produced in .net 3.5 utilizing some cool features like LINQ, the new Listview, the .NET membership, full CSS design and some other goodies like some Ajax sections.  It's freely available for download, take it - use it - abuse it.  Its designed to give users a good start in the LINQ world, with a real world application on a smaller scale.  It's database is extensible, and pages have been intentionally kept simple and straight forward, so they can be modified, tailored.

I'll be continuing to update it it through a stable release, then refactoring some of the "goofier" sections.

Have Fun!

  • The web application has no register.aspx page?

  • Hi,

    When can we expect alive demo.

    It would be nice to see a working demo already uploaded.

    May be we can have this after beta release.

  • Mike: You're right, it does not at the moment. I normally use the built in - so I put it in as one of the last things I do. I'll get it into the next source control checkin.

    Paraag: I'll get a live demo up today.

  • Hi,

    Great Thing coming from Community.

    You have still mentioned the language of the Auction Site. Is it is C# or VB.Net.

    How about offering the code in both the languages as Microsoft does.

    With any one language support, you will be helping only 1 part of Asp.net world.

    Hope i am not asking for more

  • Sorry, you make a very good point. The kit is entirely in VB at the moment. When I get to my first production release I'll release it in C# and VB.NET.

    Thanks for the comment!

  • Thanks for the comments IronRuby.

    I'm familiar with the MVC framework, and will take that into consideration. To give you an idea though, this starterkit isnt much work. ;)

    I've built the entire thing this far in about a week.

    I'll see if I can get some MVC stuff published sometime soon. I think you're over estimating the community support for it though. It's a pretty cool new technology I agree, but it's mainly geared towards teams that want to develop websites using a TDD methodology, and that was extremly difficult in a class web application style.
