I downloaded "YAF-v1.9.3-RC2-SRC.zip"

unzipped it and build the solution using VS2008.

It is building to a class library.

I was expecting it to be a web application. Where can I download the website application?

Someone plz help

1 solution and serveral projects.

1 project is the web appication, the others will compile to dll.

Thank you for replying

few questions

1. Where can I find the source code.. I searched online and the one I have, (YAF-v1.9.3-RC2-SRC.zip) seems to be the latest

2. Is there any manual for newbies like me, ??

Usally you compile source (SRC in short) to binaries (BIN)

Look for src and bin in the file name you want to download. You got the SRC, where sourcecode is included. download and look at the BIN download to see the differences.

Also you may have a look in this forum, the project homepage, ... they will point to the current release, like here:

http://forum.yetanotherforum.net/yaf_postst8229_YAF-v193-FINAL-Dated-4222009.aspx 

I don't know if here are beginner tutorials, or whatever you need, but for me it seems you need more knownledgements in asp.net. There are tons of tutorials out there, reachable using google ;)

Another thing: Based upon your questions, why would you compile yaf instread of using the compiled (BIN) release?

Hey

I missed the word "latest" in my previous question...

I have the src code for the 1.9.3 version.......but as u told me that it is not the latest, I was wondering if there is a newer version. And I was asking for the src code of the same

Also, I am now trying to build a csproj.

But there are 3 files which are included in the solution but these files do not exist in the source directory

1. alt.aspx

2. TODO.txt

3. WhatsNew.html

I am getting 4 error messgaes when I try to build the cs proj....I assume it is bcoz of these missing files...any idea where I can get these files.. here are the error msges

You have the RC2 (Release candidate), not the final version.

Also you should not use the project file in \WAPProject except you really need it. This is afaik not used anymore.

Open \yetanotherforum.net.vs2008.sln or \yetanotherforum.net.sln, dependend on what vs version you have
