Better question would be... what would you like to do, then you may be able to direct you in the right direction regarding the use of the api... will you be able to share this info?
I am going to develop my own CMS in asp.net mvc 3 & in which i want to use my own Usermanagement.But i also want to use cms portion of the umbraco.
I know that umbraco is a very big CMS with too many features but i dont want to use all of the feature. but i need its UI & some of the business logic.
For that i had done followinf exercises :
i had downloaded source code of umbraco.
then find out the views from the location
Location :
Umbraco.Cms.Web.UI > Areas > Umbraco > Views > Default
Just out of curiosity, did you consider using Umbraco and customize it before you decided to go the way you describe?
Umbraco works with the Membership Provider for managing users, so nothing prevents you from developing your own custom membership provider and use it directly into Umbraco, it's just a change in the web.config. Maybe the Back-end user management logic won't work, but the rest well and you can then provide your own members management screens, which you can also integrate in the Umbraco back-end if you wish.
And maybe it will be easier to deactivate the features you don't want to use, either via security/user rights settings, or by removing some records from the Umbraco DB, than trying to access Umbraco from outside like you describe.
how can i start to use umbraco API?
Help where do I start

Hi Dirk,
I am going to develop my own CMS in asp.net mvc 3 & in which i want to use my own Usermanagement.But i also want to use cms portion of the umbraco.
I know that umbraco is a very big CMS with too many features but i dont want to use all of the feature. but i need its UI & some of the business logic.
For that i had done followinf exercises :
i had downloaded source code of umbraco.
then find out the views from the location
Location :
Umbraco.Cms.Web.UI > Areas > Umbraco > Views > Default
View names :
1. Login.cshtml
2. Index.cshtml (Content Panel,Section Panel)
3. HeaderPartial.cshtml (Header Panel)
I have created one sample project & add references of cms.dll,umbraco.dll & businesslogic.dll in my project.
Now also i can use umbraco cms tables from the SQL server databse which were created by umbraco at the time of installation.
Now i want to create document & save it & publish it the way umbraco will do...

Just a thought...
