Best ASP.NET Forums

Question

Hi, I am new to .NET development.

Would you please let me know the best ASP.NET forums (where I could get some clarifications to my queries) like this forum (StackOverflow)?

Thank you & Regards. Shravya.

Answer 1

Other than SO, try http://forums.asp.net.

Answer 2

You may get some biases results here, but in my entire life as a .Net developer I have never been to a programming site as effective as this one.

None have even come close. I remember going to forums looking for answers and it taking a solid day to get any results, and then you have multiple rounds of follow-up. With this site you get answers in a few minutes and usually, very good ones.

Plus, it has an excellent history of top questions. You can dramatically improve your abilities by cruising down the "top questions" list. I found the "Hidden features of x" to be incredibly helpful.

• Hidden Features of C#
• Hidden .Net Base Library Classes
• Questions every good .Net developer should be able to answer
• Hidden Features of ASP.Net

SO doesn't have the chit-chat feel of most forums, because it shunts that aside to its meta.stackoverflow.com sister-site. If you want that aspect of forums (talking about the forum and about the users) its there for you, and it too is very high quality and on topic.

Anyways, long rant. I would ask what is it you are looking for that isn't here. If this meets your needs, then what's the problem?

I've used tek-tips.com many times.

They have a pretty decent .Net and ASP.net section. While not nearly as busy as stack overflow, they do have some very knowledgeable people there and I have gotten some pretty good answers in the past. Thier SQL Server forum is really good too.
