Umbraco looks like really impressive. I am trying to learn how to develop using umbraco by using my old ascx usercontrols done before. But I could not find any documents explaining even how to compile with umbraco.
I've downloaded the latest source code from codeplex. But when I compile the CMS.Development solution coming with the source code there are 32 errors complaining about the absence of some dlls like Umbraco.CMS.dll , Umbraco.CMS.Web.Editors.dll etc..
Is there such a document that explains how to start developing with umbraco?
First of all welcome to our and the fun world of Umbraco :-)
You should not compile your user controls with Umbraco.
You should get umbraco up an running installaling it either from the binaries or the web installer - once Umbraco is up and running you can go to the developer section and create a new macro, where you can select your user control from the user control folder (You'll of course need to copy the user control into this folder, and you must also remember to copy any .dll files into the bin folder).
Once the macro is created and you have made sure the correct files are in the two mentioned folder you can place the macro in your desired template and see the result on one of your pages from the content section.
A great learning ressource is umbraco.tv, which I can highly recommend you to purchase. There are also some free vidoes available to get you started, but by purchasing acess the meoney is well spent and you'll quickly find your way around Umbraco for sure.
