Hi,

I'm looking for some advice and guidance from the Umbraco community please.

I've recently followed Kevin Giszewski's blog post on "Separate your concerns with a single core Umbraco install with many sites" and I have a question.

What's the recommended project structure for Umbraco in Visual Studio?

Would you recommend that we split out the core Umbraco site and customisations into their own web projects and merge them at build time (as Kevin suggests)? I can certainly see the benefits (smoother upgrade for one). However, I've tried this recently and having to make changes to the main folder then duplicate them gets annoying pretty quickly.

Some background, I used to work for an agency and we always had trouble upgrading sites with Umbraco when we'd done our customisations in the main web project, meaning they never got upgraded, so I was wondering if there's a better way?

What approach do you take and why?

Thanks in advance and #h5yr

Dave
