List Of Free / Open Source ASP.NET Web Applications

As a big ASP.NET advocate, I'm loving the recent surge in open source / free ASP.NET applications that are hitting the web - And what's more because Microsoft have given us some great building foundations with the frameworks like the ASP.NET Membership Provider, a lot of these open source programs are very high quality!  More so than some of the paid applications.

I thought it would be a good idea to create an ever growing list of all the open source ASP.NET applications I could find - Obviously I haven't had chance to download or install every application so I can't vouch for them (The only ones I have used I'll mark with a *)

That seems to be a fairly specific target, but you never know. Check out sourceforge maybe. Good luck.

Sumalatha,

I would suggest visiting their website for implementation answers. It is straight forward to install and use, but if you're having issues you should go to the creators for advice.

I'm trying to track down a copy of the EasyAssets.Net project. It's a few years old and can't find any downloads for it. Anyone have any knowledge of it? It was developed by Eric Wise, but I can't get in touch with him to see if he still has a copy. If not, does anyone know of any ASP.NET-based multi-user inventory tracking systems? I'm working on a version of my own, but having something done or almost done would save me so much time.
