XMLMessageBoard.Net contains everything you need to create an XML based message board with form validation and CAPTCHA. This is a base application that only asks for two fields (NAME and COMMENT) and is meant to be a starting point for you to create a more robust app.
Features:
In order to run XMLMessageBoard as-is, your site NEEDS to be Ajax enabled. Don’t know what that means? Then click here.
I’m providing this code for free because it took me a little while to work through some issues and I really couldn’t find a simple XML based message board anywhere online. And, since I like you, I figured I’d save you some time.
To get this to work, do this:
Special thanks to this guy for providing the CAPTCHA stuff. Thanks buddy!
XMLMessageBoard is provided without any warranty whatsoever…and I don’t promise to support it either. In any case, it’s pretty easy and if you take a second to look at the code you’ll be able to figure it all out. If you do use it though, it would be nice of you to give me the appropriate props. Happy Coding!

Figured out the master page issue. AutoEventWireup=”false”… was doing something to the onload event. Switched it to “true” and the data started to bind onload.
Nice Message Board!!
Not able to get it to work in Master Page though. Any thoughts on this?
Awsome stuff dude.
