How to review a web application code?

What are the best open source web application projects from which to study C# code?

  • I build web applications and I need to write better code. Specifically, stuff that is heavily tied to SQL or another database platform. Interface/client side is important too; I know a lot of places to learn better HTML/jQuery, but it would be great to see it all working together in one package.

  • Answer:

    You might check out Project Silk from the Microsoft Patterns & Practices team: http://silk.codeplex.com/ It certainly has some problems that have been well documented by the community. So don't blindly follow the patterns and guidance. It still is, however, a rare example of a well documented, end to end web application using modern .NET technologies. You can learn a lot about what to do, and what not to do, by studying this code.

I would certainly suggest you to check the nopCommerce source code (http://www.nopcommerce.com/downloads.aspx).  NopCommerce is an open source ecommerce web application. It is http://ASP.NET MVC C# based with a MS SQL 2008 (or higher) backend database. There you will find some great code about DAL, caching, pub/sub pattern and many more.
