Guestbook in C# for Vs.Net by Gordon F. Weis
This application was adopted from original VB Guestbook DotNet application
- I converted it to C# and added a few features that work better for me. This was
also my first venture at C# and it has been a learning experience.
This was also the first project that I converted when .Net Beta2 was released - another
learning experience.
Since Guestbook in C# was originally released,
it has gone through several (see below) changes. The current version is
based on Vs.Net Beta2 and is implemented as a User
Control. This version also seperates the 'Post Message' and 'View
Messages' into 2 panels that can be toggled by clicking one of two radio
buttons.
There is no Copyright
so please feel free to use or modify the code as you see fit and adopt it to
your needs. However, please attach this readme file if you redistribute and keep us informed if
you make any improvements or find any bugs.

- Implemented as Vs.Net
'CodeBehind' User Control

make it more independant - all fonts, etc are hard-coded.
- The connection string, Page
Title and Guestbook number are passed as variables.
- To port to another
application, move it to your project and change the Namespace appropriately.
- To use as a stand alone
application, merely add your content to the Default.aspx page.
- The
database used is Sql2000, but it could easily be converted to Access or
another version of Sql.

installed for email.
