ASP.NET Forums XML Import/Export

Well, It's just about Holiday Season. By this time tomorrow I'll be sleeping in a strange bed at my folks new house in Long Beach. This will probably be the first “real” vacation I've had in 5 years? I don't count all my weekends in the summer racing as vacation, even the week I take off for nationals, it's more work than vacation. I'll be out in California for 5 days, back to St. Louis on Sunday morning. Should be a good time, seeing most of my family, and hopefully a friend or two from high school.

One thing I find is that when I go out of town, I usually get a crapload of work done! So this trip is tasked to work on the ASP.NET Forums V2 XML Import/Export routine. The goal is to create a windows form app that imports XML files into the ASP.NET Forums Database, Rob Howard has already created a few ASP pages that do the same, so I'll probably just take his code, convert to VB.net and work from there.

The second goal is to create another windows form app that will accept flat files from UBB.Classic V6.4.0.1, and up, and convert them into the necessary files for the Import/Export app. Eventually I'll try to add other BB software imports as well, but being that I run two active UBB.Classic boards, solo2.org and sccaforums.com  that will be my primary focus, I hope to convert those sites over to ASP.NET Forums V2 sometime in the spring.

Happy Holidays to everyone and be safe!
