Hi Max,

I'm a complete n00b myself (with DNN I mean), but since no one answered you yet, I figured I'd share what I gathered so far.

Firstly, DNN was created using Asp.Net WebForms (Myself come from MVC, and kind of hate the idea having to deal with controls, postbacks, events and all that again).

From a quick glace it seems the core framework was written in VB.Net.
However, in the setup I'm in now we are developing using C#. You are NOT *required* to do your own development in VB.Net. (which is a nice...would have hated more to go back to visual basic....).


Cheers,
Krok

The original version of dotnetnuke was build using asp.net 1.0 and vb.net.

The new version just recently released is a full rewrite of the core in c#.

The system is based around the web forms system and there are no plans to recode it in mvc.
There are a number of reasons for this not the least of which - doing so would break every
module ever written for dotnetnuke and effectively  lock out the entire webforms community.

But ironically the very modular nature of dnn actually means that it is possible to host MVC applications within the dotnetnuke framework as modules using a special mbc style wrapper- charles nurse has post a number of blogs on this in the past.
