So I decided to build a ASP.NET forum board which has support of HTML message posting. This is a beta release of the forum and has very few features (more shall come when I have time :) ). Mahesh Chand (of C# Corner) has helped me out with the database design. This example use C# scripting with ADO.NET to build a ASP.NET Web Application. You will get to learn a lot of ADO.NET in this example. Explanation This example consists of 3 pages. 1) forum.aspx - The Main Forum page. It lists all the topics in a DataGrid object with Paging enabled. It also contains a form to post new entries. 2) reply.aspx - This page is called from the forum page when you click on any topic. It contains the details of the topic as well as all replies made to the topic. This page contains the form to reply to the topic. 3) postmessage.aspx - This page is called whenever a form is posted. It stores the posted data into the Database.  Requirements 1) .NET SDK beta 1 (Note: This example may not work with future versions of the SDK). 2) Ms Access 2000 (Optional, only if you want to edit the database). 3) ASP.NET support on your web server.
