I am on my second day of a new job and the website here uses DotNetNuke.  I have developed in ASP.NET for 10 years, but I know nothing about DotNetNuke.  I'm trying to find the source code for a web page on this website and I can't see any correlation between the page shown in the browser URL and the file structure in the source code files.  Does DotNetNuke somehow use a completely different file/folder naming structure than normal ASP.NET? 

I see a URL like this in the browser:

https://ourcompany.com/HR/Corporate/A...

I can't find any of these folders and I can't find a file CreateNetworkAccount.aspx anywhere in the folders that do exist.  Does DotNetNuke create some false path in the browser address bar or am I not looking at the correct source code folders?

DNN uses URL rewriting, the URL provided sound like humanfriendly URL Provider (DNN 6). You should be able to find a page with this path in Admin > Pages.
DNN stores Content of these pages in multiple tables within the database.

Thanks for the response.  I'll look for that page or table.  Is there a way to turn off "friendly" URLs?  At least during development.  I can already tell I'm not going to become an expert in DotNetNuke.  .NET is great.  It doesn't need to be Nuked.  I can't wait to get back to DotNetNotNuked.

Steve, all advanced CMS use the technique of URL rewriting, as they store all content in a central datastore and use parameters to display each "page".
Without rewriting, a DNN URL would look like "www.mydomain.com/default.aspx?tabid=124". You may disable url rewriting in Host Settings / web.config,
but in most cases, there is no need for it, as long as you keep the url rewriting in mind.

Thanks for your help. I don't even understand this enough to ask any more questions. It doesn't look like a content management system to me - it looks like a new web page delivery system. It does look like is has nuked ASP.NET. I don't know if I will be able to keep this job, or if I really want to keep it.
