I am new to Umbraco 6 and relatively new to MVC as well, so have a naive question. We have websites that used 4.7.1 and web forms. There we used to create a User Control, deploy corresponding .dll and ascx forms and add a macro using .net control in CMS. What is the equivalent way of achieving the same in Umbraco 6 using MVC framework?
Note: I am using Visual Studio to install umbraco 6 in local. Planning to keep the same in subversion and deploy needed files from there.
To summarize the questions:
1) What files/folders do I need to keep in Subversion for a v6 website, so that replica of same website is maintained in local and host server?
2) What needs to be deployed over host server? i.e. Do you deploy views separately, and the Model+Controllers get deployed with the website .dll?
It is basically the same as a webforms project. All files with a .cs extension will be compiled into your project DLL. (Models and Controllers). Macros, views and partials (and any other files with a .cshtml or .aspx extension) need to be deployed to the webserver.
You can set up the SVN in the same way. I use Mercurial but as an example here is my ignore file to show you what I exclude from source control (mainly auto generated files, include any files you actually work on)

Deploying an Umbraco 6 website with controllers
Hi,
I am new to Umbraco 6 and relatively new to MVC as well, so have a naive question. We have websites that used 4.7.1 and web forms. There we used to create a User Control, deploy corresponding .dll and ascx forms and add a macro using .net control in CMS. What is the equivalent way of achieving the same in Umbraco 6 using MVC framework?

Hi M,

Thanks for the prompt response Barry.
