Hi,

I'm new to Umbraco. Just started learning MVC and Razor, I want to add own "things" to the Umbraco CMS.

I've downloaded latest the latest source - 4.11.1. The projects will be edited with VS2012.

I had a closer look to the Documentation (the section Documentation on Our Umbraco), especially to Developer API Reference -> MVC -> ChildActions.

If I had understood that right, I can use ChildAction to render my own parts of code? Par examples I want to use my own MVC project, let's say, a simple form, where te user can input some text?

My questions are:

# What I have to do, so that i can use e.g. my own form in Umbraco? Which .dll i have to use for the controller class? This class has to inherit from SurfaceController, right?

I guess I have to write something like the following code into Umbraco -> Developer -> Scripting Files -> xyz.cshtml (Example-Code from the documentation site):

@Html.Action("SearchResults", "MySearch", 
    new { query = new QueryParameters(Request.QueryString["search"]) })

Does I have to write some @inherit or @using here? If so, which? And what does "MySearch" in the example code mean?

Further, if I take the example code from this site, where do i store it? In an umbraco folder or somewhere else?

If someone knows a link to a step-by-step example, i would be happy... At the moment the example-code is a mammut problem for me, because I don't know exactly what to do. Perhaps somebody might help me?

Hope my explainations and my englisch (not native) are understandable.

Thanks in advance for your help, Kai
