Hi,

I've just started using DNN, in favour of Joomla, phpnuke and SharePoint (cause I like .NET and SharePoint costs too much).

I'm a little sceptical though after using the product for a few days due to the many problems I've faced. I started with DNN 4.02, because I like coding with VS2005 and .NET 2.0 better and I hope to build some custom modules down the track. However, it seems the gallery doesn't work with this version.

So I installed DNN 3.x (latest). When I tried to upload the gallery module it complained about not being able to open the file. I found a solution in another post requiring an additional value in the web config file. The additional value is rejected however if the portal is configured to use .NET 1.1 in IIS, it requires .NET 2.0.

I then tried to put the component in a pane and got an error about persistence requiring a cookie ID. This was also addressed in another post, the solution was to configure the site to be .NET 1.1.

So as far as I can see, I have to switch my site to 2.0 and add a value to web.config to upload the modules, then undo the config change and switch back to .NET 1.1 to use them. This is really annoying. Please try and fix this so that more people will use DNN. I have a lot of faith in the product, but It really shouldn't be this hard to use.
