• Re: Good bye CSK?

  If you appreciate the ease-of-use and content management features of CSK, I would advise you to avoid DNN. Not knowing which was a better framework, I installed CSK to manage a couple of web sites, and DNN to manage a third. I found that DNN was very painful to use. The content management features out of the box are very weak and I spent a lot of time and money evaluating and buying third-party modules to get it to do things CSK does out of the box. Perhaps there is a module I didn't find (or was

• CSK Future and Competitors

  I've been using CSK to maintain a couple of web sites for non-profit organizations (the price was right), and I also have a DotNetNuke site for my personal site. I like CSK better because I can get stupp up there much quicker than DNN, but that's because I'm operating inside the box. If I were trying to extend the site, I'm sure I'd be singing DNN's praises, so suffice it to say, they both have their place. I noticed that CSK is no longer listed in the ASP.NET downloads area. Is CSK being upgraded

• Re: Why store images in database?

  I was not implying that users upload directly to the file system, I was thinking of something more like inserting some code into the stream just before the ImageSave() stored procedure, so the logic and flow of the app is essentially the same. Something like this: <pseudocode> public void SaveImage (OtherParms, img) { if (img.Size < 1000) imgID = sp_SaveImage(OtherParms, NULL); SaveToFileSystem(img, imgID) else sp_SaveImage(OtherParms, img); } public img LoadImage (imgID) { img = sp_LoadImage

• Why store images in database?

  I can think of a few good reasons to store images in the database, but I also have one very good reason not to. My web hosting service gives me 200MB of disk space, but only 50MB of SQL Server database space, and I'd rather not have to pay for a huge service upgrade just to store images in my DB. I have considered a few workaround solutions, such as rewriting the middle-teir component to write DB images to the file system, or perhaps changing the Stored Procedures that retrieve and save an image

• When to use Static Page Module, HTML Page Module, and Custom Module

  I'm trying to figure out the pros and cons of using Static pages, the HTML Page Module, and the Custom Module. Background: I'm using the CSK to make an old HTML web site easier to maintain. I have a bunch of old Photo Galleries (yes, several of them containting hundreds of images) that would take many days to convert to using the Photo Gallery module, so I'm researching ways to convert the old pages that isn't so painful. I don't care if the new photo galleries (which will use the Photo Gallery module
