    Visual Studio 2012 & First Umbraco Project?

    I go here: http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/v480/Installation/install-umbraco-manually and read this: "Once you have the binary release of your liking saved to disk" which is not very helpful. How does a new user know what my "liking" is? I downloaded the 'Recommended Download' (most popular) from here: http://umbraco.codeplex.com/releases/view/94118 (Umbraco.4.9.0.zip) and made sure the zip was 'unblocked' before unzipping to my harddrive. I then opened the umbraco project as a 'web site' in Visual Studio 2012. It errors: 'default.aspx.cs' does NOT exist. Maybe I have not downloaded the correct zip or there are more files needed? 

    Q. What 'binary' do I download to begin using Umbraco?

    Give NuGet Packages and Visual Studio Templates a try from VS 2012 and you will get sucess in installation. I believe the version for VS 2012 is 5.1. I think you are amongst early bird to try this.

    I recieve this error on build: Error 1 Could not load type 'umbraco.presentation.config.splashes.booting'.

    Concerning NuGet, I did not find anything in the list for Umbraco.

    I could not find Umbraco using Tools -> Library Package Manager -> NuGet. However, I DID find Umbraco using 'Tools -> Extension Manager'. I installed Umbraco Project'. I'll let you know how it goes. 

    Also found this link: http://umbraco.com/follow-us/blog-archive/2012/2/28/nuget-packages-and-visual-studio-templates.aspx

    Pay attention - are you looking for Umbraco 4 or 5? Some of the links shared above are for 5 not 4!

    I used this template

    http://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/visual-studio-2010-project-template

     

    You download a build (not source) version of Umbraco into a folder (from the download page http://umbraco.codeplex.com/releases/view/94118)

    Point IIS at it, and go through the install process (note no visual studio so far) which creates the default database.

    Then use the visual studio template to make a new visual studio project.

    That template asks for the location of the Umbraco folder.

    Any dev you do, you do in the VS project, and as it builds it copies into the Umbraco install.

    What it doesn't do is configure VS correctly for intellisense. Which I am trying to figure out how to do: anyone with any ideas on that would be great!

    Q. Do I use only the 'Recommended Download' ?

    Any package you like - but this technique is designed for using a pre-built version rather than a build from source. Pre-built is suitable if you are trying to build a website (you can write templates, macros, controls etc) - source is usually only required if you are trying to make updates to Umbraco itself.

    I find the various named download packages very confusing for a beginner like myself. Also, I tried 3 times to post this comment from my iPhone 4s and it never worked. The submit button reloaded the page and the new Reply did not save.

    Okay, here's what I have so far and its working good except for two 'object undefined' errors when the pages change. I'll figure that out later.

    1. Using VS 2012
    2. Create new project (ASP.NET Empty Web Application)
    3. Tools -> Library Package Manager -> Package Manager Console
    4. PM> install-package umbracocms (hit enter key)
    5. PM> install-package microsoft.aspnet.mvc (hit enter key)
    6. Exit Package Manager Console
    7. Build -> Build web-site-name
    8. Debug -> Start without debugging
    9. Follow the Umbraco Installation walk-through
    10. URL of 'Admin Console': http://localhost:51639/umbraco/umbraco.aspx (complete step 9 first, need database)

    HI Kevin,

    Did you have any joy with the 'object undefined' errors?
