I am confused.  Is there a reason why we can't view the source in the WebRoot project?  I am trying to understand the architecture you used.

The key is to realize that nearly everything is created dynamically !  Instead of having any hard-coded pages, the relevant information to create each page is in the database.  That makes it very easy to create new pages through the web browser itself, and to modify any and all of your content.  Certainly the pages are built using your master pages, themes, frames, and modules, which are all mostly pretty standard, but the definitions of those pages are in the database.  This is very similar to other "portals" out there, although hopefully you'll find mine simpler to understand and based more on standard ASP.NET v2.0 features.  But certainly feel free to ask more questions, as it is very different from the typical hard-coded page sites.

Thanks, Paul Wilson
