I'm new to YAF and have been told by my boss that I need to implement YAF into a website we are developing for a client.

I would like to find out how to do this from scratch as I have looked at the YAF.SampleWebApplication, but I'm not sure how to go about putting this into our solution.

Any input and guidelines would be appreciated.

I'm looking at version 2.1.1. and I have only looked at the solution and haven't tried to implement it just yet.

We have an asp.net 4.0 web application (website) written in C# for the client.

Thanks, would I use the YAF.SampleWebApplication for the manual part, or must this be the install version of YAF.

Ok, I followed the guide and have the forum in my website using my masterpage.

All the links work, but I'm getting an error when trying to view my profile, post a topic, comment, etc.

I'm trying to use my websites membership provider and roleManager, which seems to work for the login, but now I'm not sure if this is causing the issue.

Do you have this published online yet? If so, can you share the URL?

No, the website isn't live yet.

This error occurs when I click the logged in users username to view the profile. The link goes to this url:

http://localhost/forum/default.aspx?g=profile&u=4

Try clicking a users profile on this very site. I think you are getting the same error and this is a bug perhaps?

Looks like it, just where the error is coming up is not on the same line.

I'm also having the issue when I try to go into a topic (view posts) or create a topic.

When I try to view the following link (http://localhost/forum/default.aspx?g=posts&t=1) I get this error:

Stack Trace:

[NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.]

Can you post the contents of your forum.aspx or default.aspx pages that are in the /forum directory?
