If you are new to Umbraco I highly recommend you get used to how it works before diving into the source code, there is rarely any need to edit the source.
However I'm pretty sure my point about the zip file is still valid, you need to ensure you unblock it before unzipping.
Are you evaluating Umbraco, or trying to change the way it works?
If you are evaluating Umbraco by the source code you might also want to look at the upcoming V5 source as it's been rewritten for MVC http://umbraco.com/umbraco-5-status.aspx
I think it's widely agreed that the Umrbaco 4 source code and architecture isn't as good as it could be, however Umbraco is still a great product and rarely is the source code needed. Mostly the API's and the default Umbraco features are enough.
You should be able to build your own membership provider using your database and swap this provider out in the web.config, out the box Umbraco uses the standard .NET one.
Data Types editor error (initial installation without starter kit)
Hi, I installed umbraco 4.7 without starter kits.
when I go to developer section to edit/view data types; I get this error:
"The given key was not present in the dictionary" Has someone encountered this problem before?
Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome to the forum!
Did you remember to 'Unblock' the zip file after you downloaded it, or did you install via the Web Platform Installer?
Rich
Thanks,
I am working from the source code via VS2010 (view via browser)
Hi,
Is there a reason you're working from the source code?
You can simply install Umbraco using http://www.microsoft.com/web/downloads/platform.aspx

I just want to debug while understanding the code; I even run VS2010 as administrator
Hi,
I don't know then, sorry.

Thanks, I'll try it thanks
my bad, I should build all solution instead of right click on default.aspx and click view in browser.
If you did not build solution; several files is missing in the bin folder
Glad you got it fixed.

We are experimenting to integrate umbraco with our application; for now the membership tables will be using our application database.
I can't hardly wait for the umbraco 5 release :)
Thanks Rich
No problem, looking forward to 5 too.
You should be able to build your own membership provider using your database and swap this provider out in the web.config, out the box Umbraco uses the standard .NET one.
Best of luck :)
