2) It has AJAX support.

I've come across "AJAX" on several sites, but don't fully comprehend what it's about..could you elaborate?

And thanks to others for supplying info, i'm still collecting pro's and conn's! (i.e. ; I haven't built enough to be worth keeping )

 

The easiest way to understand it is viewing it.  Google for an example.  What it does it go in the background to get information and then refresh that part of the page and only that part of the web page.  Say if someone hit USA for country in a form, the AJAX "combo technology" (it's more than one technology), would go out and get the states and refresh just that state dropdownlist.

DNN 4.x is functionally the same as DNN 3.x.  The onlt difference is that the code was ported to .NET 2/VS2005 using the Conversion Wizard, and then fixing any remaining compatability issues.

It should be just as rugged as DNN 3.x, although there are some differences, due to the new compile-on-demand model for ASP.NET.

The big difference is that due to the way ASP.NET 2 works, all the Class Library support projects have had to be moved physically from their location in DNN 3.x.  This is only an issue (or should only be an issue) fo people upgrading from any 3.x version to the Full Source version of DNN 4.x.

But that sounds as if all modules should work as well, yet I see many posts stating they don't ? Or did I misunderstand?

Doesn't the compile-on-demand mean that it's slower? I noticed my site being slow on "first contact", then be ok after that..I found a post stating it had to do with some elements that had to be loaded?

Quite a bit easier than what I was chewing on...http://adaptivepath.com/publications/essays/archives/000385.php

Thanks for that update!
