TBH is a fantastic starter kit. Probably the best one I have run across so far. Took me way up the learning curve. Plus a good scalable, modular architecture, plus a book. What's not to like?

Anyone want to compare it with the timetrakker starter kit? Hah!

ok guys, please let me know if i got this right:)

i still dont understand how TBH isnt moduler application!! it has several modules, built as user controls with normal aspx pages for the administration part, how is it any different than DNN modules! the only difference i can think off between DNN and TBH is that in DNN allowes (the site owner), to add a (new page). The site owner can login, plug a new(existing module) at any time since DNN is utilizing the webpart concept, the same can happen in TBH but the only difference is that you can plug(or remove) the module in an existing page!!. am not very aware about DNN framwork or how the modules are structured, maybe there is no seperate admin pages for DNN modules, meaning the (update, insert , delete..) operations can be called from the same user control that display lets the module data), maybe the module classes are included withing the control code behind file. if thats the case then the site owner need only to plug a module(online) without having to upload the admin pages with the necessary module classes as its the case with TBH..

is there any other difference?

Appreciate any comment

A modular application is well, modular, meaning that it is more like webparts or self contained applications that are included in an app. For example, say you are building a CMS, you can include a Guestbook, A forum, A blog and ofcouse the news module. Now not everyone wants all these features. Instead of commenting them out, you simply don't include them. You disable them, but hey are still there. Let's say 2 years later you change your mind and now want to include those features, you simply go to the admin section of your site and turn them on and bingo, they are available.

You also decide to only run one module of a big application. Take a look at Community server,it is a blog, a forum, Cms, Picture app etc. Most people only use the blog module. A truely modular application will allow you to rip any one module and run it as a stand alone application.

Ok, as for the Pros and Cons of BeerHOuse, it depends on how advanced you are. For a professional developer, you can use this TBH kit as a framework for a world class application. It is a well built tool designed to showcase the depts you can push .Net framework.

Also, with a little modifications, you can modularize it and use it for a very well built CMS.

For a beginner, the most you can learn from it is how to build good applications, assuming you uderstand C#,

Hope this helps

Hey whats a module is everybody refering to code or is it something like... say for instance a webpart or even a contact page that has been created by the wizard... oohh! MR. Wizard lol. Because if it is the later why can't you turn it off by going into the sitemap and comment out the page to turn it off.

Yes, DNN does support c# when developing new modules.

Hi there,

I am reading this book and I must agree with the guys that said that hi book isn't for the beginners.

I am an ASP.NET beginner but I have some programming experience. Some of you said that this kit isn't really modular. I am not really sure if I understand what you mean. Could you please show me a kit that is modular?

I would like to see how a modular starter kit looks like.

consider doing a thoroughly modular solution like DOTNET NUKE allowing developers to use only what they want, enable and disable modules as needed.

I came to see TBH because I am C# developer and the RainbowPortal for ASP.NET2.0 is still in beta version, the community (discussions or answers to problems) is practically absent.
As I understand DOTNET NUKE is n VB.NET only?

Does DOTNETNUKE have (or permit) modules in C#?

Now, I'm trying the replace all Gridviews with Datalists with custom paging/sorting in the store.

I finally got the Datalist to view products and replaced all Gridviews. Now it's just getting the custom paging to work...

I'm currently using the TBH kit for a major development for shopping carts on Glacsy.com. If you could see the things I have done to TBH, it's more complicated now than the original kit. If you know what you're doing, it's not that hard to restucture the kit (turning on/off features). I stripted the kit into 2 major areas/sites. All the "Community" relate feature are on the Community site and all store feature are on the, well store site. Then the admin areas/features, I create a whole site just for administration (including all other needed admins) totaling - splitting TBH in 3 different sites. I've also included/add an extra section in the store (like Departments, "Categories", and Products) rather than the original (Departments and Products). Now, I'm trying the replace all Gridviews with Datalists with custom paging/sorting in the store. Lots of work, lots of fun...

Was anyone able to use the BeerHouse Starter kit successfully?I was having somee issues with the Store>Checkout process [
Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))

Any idea ,what this could be? Though,I was unable to spend some time on tracing the cause,I was wondering if any of you guys know what this is?

Thanks in Advance!

I was hoping you would have already known what these "Access is Denied" mean. Most likely it's always an issue with permissions and directories. You can either add the "Network Service" to permissions in IIS or the "Security" tap in the requesting directory. Hope this helps...

I agree with yousaid. This book to my opinion is written for developers with some experience in mind. And to demonstrate the key features of ASP.Net 2.0

Nope,the fix version (http://www.codeplex.com/TheBeerHouse/SourceControl/ListDownloadableCommits.aspx) still has the same issue.

Any kind of inputs will be appreciated.
