My friend and I are going to create a commercial umbraco extension. Since umbraco 5 will go mvc, as we read, we're thinking of using mvc and sharp architecture. Our plan is to create it as a standard alone asp.net mvc application first and then make it an umbraco exension. Can anybody tell us whether this is feasible or provide us with a better idea? Many thanks for any input.
have a look at this post - basic proof of concept discussion for hooking into asp.net mvc with existing umbraco - not sure what the intricacies of serious extensions could do - might rule out some of this - also this proof was only for front-end mvc, not controllers in a back-end section.
I don't know whether umbraco 5 will be based on Sharp Architecture or not, but this probably shouldn't affect your decision either way, you might just adding sharp architecture plumbing into the umbraco application rather than the mvcapplication directly.
And yes, I think Sharp Arch is a pretty good idea - depending on what you're doing, the enforced opinions can be a little bit restrictive, but for a sizeable project, this is no bad thing.
What's the current status on hooking up Umbraco V4 with MVC. I get that it's possible, but have any one seen sites built that way, and are there blog examples describing how to place a view in a template with the controller and model working?
Creating a umbraco product ( commercial extensions) based on asp.net mvc and sharp architecture

Just a little information about our background. We've been using nHibernate and castle for years, but are pretty new to umbraco and mvc.
Well, if you set up things correctly it should (in theory) not be too difficult to replace your View with one that recides in Umbraco.
You would also want to use dependency injection so you can change your dal to 'Linq to Umbraco' later.
Obviously it would all depend on how well Umbraco 5 will be extendable, but I think the Umbraco folks will do a great job at that.
Be aware that Umbraco 5 is likely to be at least a year from now to be a stable release.
Thanks guys. Am I right on that umbraco 5 will be based on sharp architecture?

It's too early to say whether it'll be based on Sharp Architecture or not.
