Hi, i was just wondering, does the YAF integration to an asp.net website work with Web apps,(In visual studio file => New Website) or Web app projects only? (file => New Project) Since Web apps does not support the profile feature. Will i still be able to integrate YAF to my existing site? Or does it only work for Web projects. -Thanks

Yes so was I. Infact it got my head in a twist, till i actually created a thread, asking them on asp forums: Video comment in which i saw it from (6yj post) http://www.asp.net/learn/videos/video-44.aspx My thread about this on asp.net forums http://forums.asp.net/t/1360690.aspx I really hope someone can proove me wrong, as i only have a webapp and cannot restart my site using web project, and i really want to integrate YAF to my site. Thanks

Ouch! Learn something new every day. Worst comes to worst it'll be a replace job on the profile entries to using GetPropertyValue(""), but I can't comment how much work it'd take in getting the whole thing running smoothly as I haven't done it :-( But since YAF is just a control at the end of the day, if you have the App_Code present, and the YAF website in a folder. I can't see why you can't just LoadControl("forum.ascx") into your application. Not done it with a WAP personally so its just a hypothetical. Sorry can't be of much more help...

I just thought of something... Isnt it possible to use the YAF profiles instead? So for example, when a user wants to view a profile, they will be redirected to their YAF profile, and i just use my normal membership for member management, is that possible? Thanks
