Your question is quite ambigious. If you want to edit Umbraco pages in your existing application you could run Umbraco in an iframe however this would still require users to login again to umbraco.
let me explain more.... In my application I have two static content page. I want edit my content through the umbraco..... how can i access the content pages from umbraco to my existing application
In my view it's bit complicated to edit content of static page from umbraco.One way is if you make your those 2 pages dynamic then there may be some ways to do.
Yeah ummm there is various way you could go about this. You could look into Umbraco.Library.RenderTemplate. The best thing to do would be just move everything to Umbraco :)
It seems like overkill (probably better to write a simple admin tool for the 2 static pages), but you could install Umbraco and the ASP.net site in the same website. You would need to configure Umbraco to "ignore" the ASP.Net website and then convert the 2 static pages into dynamic pages controlled by Umbraco.
You would need to edit the "umbracoReservedUrls" and / or "umbracoReservedPaths" values in web.config to stop Umbraco clashing with the other website.
Can you install Umbraco in the same website as the existing application? If so, configure Umbraco (as above) to ignore all folders / pages from the existing application. Then recreate the 2 static pages as pages in Umbraco ... this is of course simplifying it, as you would need to recreate (copy?) the template from the current site to get the design. You would also need to implement the menu system too.
It does seem like far too much work for just a couple of pages ... can you give us more details of the overall situation and why these 2 pages need to be edited, how often, what the existing system is / does.
Just to point out - in case you are not aware - the pages you create in Umbraco do not physically exist! So, to be able to edit the 2 static pages, they would need to be created in Umbraco and be under the control of / be served by Umbraco.
Just paste the 2 "static" pages into 2 new templates within Umbraco create a new doc type (anything will do) allow both templates and use these whereever you need them.
I have an existing, large, ASP.NET app. It has nothing to do with
umbraco.
I need to allow my marketing team can edit the file content, which will be
available on pages in the ASP.NET app everytime ( in future we can add more pages......like faq.aspx.........) .
for example I have a faq.aspx page it contains questions and answer evry time we nee to change the content for that I need umbraco
If that the case then better to move all your static pages to umbraco site, and in your asp.net application just link the nav menu to umbraco page. I'm following the same way which I described here.
If they are just text I would convert each page to an Umbraco template (Master Page).
Then your user can add these pages where they want, link to them and the site map and URL rewriting will all work without problems. You can also integrate new data into the templates when you're ready.
Like I've a umbraco site, mydomain.com and another application application.com. I just create umbraco pages in mydomain.com and in application.com's faq menu, I defined url from mydomain.com like mydomain.com/faq. Another step you can do is that just create faq page in application.com and using iframe you can consume faq page of mydomain.com.

Can you not build an edit feature into the existing ASP.NET application?
Hi sravani,
If that the case then better to move all your static pages to umbraco site, and in your asp.net application just link the nav menu to umbraco page. I'm following the same way which I described here.
Pnima
Hey Sravani,
I'm sorry but I'm not sure what it is you're trying to do.
What does the existing ASP.NET site do, are the pages editable in the existing system already?
At a wild guess I'm assuming that you want to integrate an existing ASP.NET and add a few more editable pages via Umbraco??
Rich
just it a text ....................................
That content pages having the static text only not from the database...... like runawayhomepage in umbraco......
I have created one content page in umbraco called opcontent .
my problem is how can I add this conetnt page to my asp.net application...............
Thanks Pnima
can you explain more about that with example it helps me a lot..... Thanks again
If they are just text I would convert each page to an Umbraco template (Master Page).

Rich
How can I link those umbraco content pages to my site ....
Pls give me any example link or code
Thanks
Login to Umbraco
Go to settings - Create a new Doc Type, lets say for "About Us"
Tick the box to create a template
Open the template (Settings - Templates)
Paste your HTML from your static page into the About Us template
Go to Settings - Doc Types click your "Home" Doc Type and then go to "Structure" tab and allow About Us to be added.
Go to your content section and right click "Home" (add this if it's not there) and add the about us doc type.
Repeat for all your pages.
How many pages are there?
Rich
I have done with creation...............How can I add or link these pages into my application..........
Thanks a lot for your time
I've done with simple easy steps.
Like I've a umbraco site, mydomain.com and another application application.com. I just create umbraco pages in mydomain.com and in application.com's faq menu, I defined url from mydomain.com like mydomain.com/faq. Another step you can do is that just create faq page in application.com and using iframe you can consume faq page of mydomain.com.
Hope this helps to fix your problem.
Pnima
Thank you All
Means you have fix the problem?
Yes it solved through iframe concept ........... Thanks a lot :)
Could you please mark as solved? This will be helpful for others, those who are facing same problem.
Pnima
