What are you trying to make? Your question seems exceptionally vague.

Maybe if you gave some info on the features you're wanting it'd be easier to provide help on how to achieve them

In my current project client ask  us to make Active story board item which functions like Google to do list.

I m trying to get the information from google to do list but ours is News related website so can anyone tell me what options i can give.

Everything you can develop in HTML / AJAX / ASP.NET can be implemented in umbraco either in the template (ASP.NET MasterPage) or as a macro (ASP.NET usercontrol or XSLT).

If you want to extend the backend you can develop a Dashboard control (ASP.NET usercontrol) or a custom datatype (ASP.NET usercontrol implementing the correct interface).

Maybe you can benefit from the umbraco Node structure and use umbraco to store your data or content, or perhaps you should just develop your feature as you would develop any other ASP.NET feature, and then just plug it into your umbraco website as a macro.

Hard to tell which is the best approach with this little detail. Hopefully this will give you an idea of the direction to attack your task.

hi Dennis,

              Thanks for ypur quick reply.I want to ask u one thing how to implement Dashboard controls / What actually Dash board controls menas.

Please give some information about how to implement them.

thanks in advance.

Please see the reference to the dashboard.config for more info: http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/files-and-folders/dashboardconfig

A Dashboard control is a usercontrol with your own custom developed features that you wish to display in the empty blank area in umbraco for each section when you click "Content", "Media", "Settings" etc.

A Dashboard section is an additional custom section next to "Content", "Media" etc. I found this tutorial on how to add a custom section with it's own tree navigation etc. http://www.simm.dk/umbraco-corner/articles/making-custom-sections-and-trees-inside-umbraco---part-i.aspx

Kind regards
