Any websites using ASP.NET?

[kwblue]

I only know of one casino portal that uses .NET (LiveCasinoDirect). Anyone else use it and how are they implementing?

If you use .NET and were going to start over or you already know the best method.. would you use: Razor, custom, MVC, Entities. Any thoughts?

My .NET Experience is essentially:

80% - Applications
15% - Services
5% - Custom Websites (non-MVC)


Thanks!

I did very well with my .net for many years... The last year or so it has taken a hit, maybe from lack of work on my part. Sure I would have gotten a .com if available, but I have no regrets with my .net name.

I used to own a .net site and it did very well then and still does now. See a few ranking but maybe not for the super popular terms. Like RyanWeb a .com would have been preferred but wasn't available but the .net did well enough.

He is talking about programming language not domain name

That will teach me to read the post half asleep.......ignore

haha. Yes, I corrected the post. Now it says ASP.Net instead. I should have started off that way.

Was hoping a few more would have surfaced using ASP.Net Was really looking for a direction someone else has taken. I hate building a site and then halfway down the road thinking "I wish I would have done it another way"

I still use PHP for my sites. It's free, and it works well for me.

Is ASP.Net free or do you have to buy something to get started with it?

I wonder how similar it is to PHP/MySQL.

asp.net is free if you use Visual Studio Community edition. The only difference is you will need to have a Windows server, which are typically more expensive to host than a Linux server. I think it is possible these days to use an asp.net flavor called Mono or something like that, which is cross-compatible, but I have no experience with that.

PHP feels more like classic ASP than asp.net to me and ASP.Net feels more like I can do anything I want. This is MY view, though, because the majority of programming I do is in .NET and I can easily write windows services, web APIs, and other stuff to complement and compartmentalize my code. I understand you can likely do much of that with PHP as well.

I have written asp.net applications against MySQL, so that isn't much different. A database is a database... most good languages can talk to any.

I believe the AE affiliate site uses ASP.
