I know there's a lot of vids and other resources, but couldn't find a clear way to get in. I wonder if anyone could point me.
I was a Ruby on Rails developer, with some background on ASP.NET and some more experience with C#. Now I'm working as a Microsoft Dynamics CRM consultant at a local MS Partner, and the we need to create custom portals that consume services from the CRM to show some info or to create some entities inside the system. These portals must have some basic functionality like managing sessions, handle forms with uploads (when creating entities at the CRM), sending notification emails , etc... From what I see, Umbraco looks like the perfect candidate for this kind of portal.
To convince my bosses to embrace Umbraco company wide, I want to construct a one page portal, that after requiring authentication, shows the user a form that when submitted, it creates a Lead record on the CRM through a (known) web service. Can anyone point me to the right direction to get that form done and the WS called?
In particular, can these be done only with configuration? how? if custom code needs to be written, where and how do I setup my Visual Studio (I guess) to code it?
Introductory documentation?
Hi All,

Hi Eavaria,
First you need to setup visual studio solution for your project.

Create an user control for the form and use WS to call CRM there.

Create members / member groups using Umbraco member section - http://umbraco.com/help-and-support/video-tutorials/umbraco-fundamentals/members/introduction-to-members/TVPlayer
Apply role base protection to the portal page you have created as the part of your task - http://umbraco.com/help-and-support/video-tutorials/umbraco-fundamentals/members/role-based-protection/TVPlayer ;
Umbraco uses normal asp.net membership provider, so you can use asp.net login / login view controls for login purposes.
Hope this helps,
