DNN To Oqtane
The Great ".NET" Hurdle
The primary factor determining its ultimate expiration date is the transition from .NET Framework to .NET (Core).
- The Problem: DNN is built on the older ASP.NET WebForms architecture, which is tied to Windows and is considered "legacy" by Microsoft.
- The Maybe Solution: The community is currently testing ways to bridge this gap (like the MVC Pipeline mentioned above). If the community successfully transitions the core to cross-platform .NET, DNN could see a "rebirth." If they fail, it will eventually become a "zombie CMS"—functional but unable to run on modern, high-performance infrastructure.
- The Now Solution: Oqtane ~ It's Modular, Flexible, and Open Source!
