How to create a simple forum under ASP.NET?

[Takhir]

Couldn't you help me in creating the forum under Windows hosting on ASP.NET? I found some scripts in Internet, but all of them don't works so good or at all.
It should be a forum to post just messages, might be without any additional functionality, like smiles etc.

Why don't you just use a free open-source one? Like the one you can get from http://www.simplemachines.org/ or http://www.phpbb.org ?

No sense in reinventing the wheel!

My site is hosted under Windows and uses ASP.NET structure. As I know, I can't use PHP and MySQL directly. Correct?

You can infact use php and mysql directly through your iis.

Visit php.net and mysql.com to get the files.

onedit: maybe you don't have direct access to your iis.. in which case, you can get forum software written in asp.net: http://www.codetoad.com/asp.net_forum.asp
