Anybody recommend one? I just installed YetAnotherForum.Net but was wondering what other options there were. I'm extremely new to Windows hosting and my friend is coding our website in C# so we're looking for a decent open source forum that he can intergrate into it.

looks like all you need is an ASP.NET 2.0 site + MySQL backend...the later of which should be free to obtain here:

That's not the best opinion to take if you want to do .NET professionally. 85%+ of all the .NET jobs out there are web related. As for the code, C# is C#. The only difference in the ASP form front end, which is not much more than glorified HTML

Maybe you can write me up a simple application that exports the text from a textbox into a .txt file... you wrote one for me in the .NET group but when I tried it I couldn't get it to work. :( Then again, I'm coding in VB.NET so not sure the differences between that and C#.
