It was basically written in VB.NET, and later the developers has shifted to C# since version 6.0 came to existence. It uses various skins, modules, data providers, language packs and templates. It offers a solution to create/edit content and add custom features and personalize their website look and feel. It can also be later extended by adding third-party DNN apps. As of now, more than 8000 DNN apps are ready and available for purchase.

It comes in 3 main versions. The following are the details of the same:
