One issue with this is, I would like to use a ecommerce package/store front but it needs to be transparent to the end users. If it’s my own code the usercontrol is great but when it’s a large third party application, then I need a way to bypass the Umbraco filters etc. My ecommerce application will have the same header and side navigation as my umbraco so it will look seems less as long as I can figure out the /PORTAL/ path type situation where umbraco does not “see” any requests or post backs to a specific path I should be good!
If you've got folders/ pages which you want to explicitly exclude you can just set the umbracoReservedPaths/ umbracoReservedUrls respectively (that'll exclude a whole folder or a single page).
Bypass Umbraco Filter
I find it easier to do my backend database work via my own code but enjoy the advantage of the Umbraco CMS.
I was thinking of creating an iframe as a content section which would then use my backend code, and .NET application and bypass Umbraco.
To try make it a bit clearer..
www.mysite.com/umbracopage1.aspx
www.mysite.com/umbracopage2.aspx
www.mysite.com/PORTAL/my_netCode.aspx
This way I can post back to my_netCode.aspx and work standalone without figuring how to do umbraco packages etc.
Hope it makes sense
You could just do your own stuff in a usercontrol, and place that directly in one of the umbraco masterpages.
That should give you the best of both worlds. The layout/navigation from umbraco, and all the freedom in the world in your usercontrol :-)
Or of course wrap your usercontrol in a macro (3 clicks or so) to make it easier to places it on a template.
Thats a good idea but I guess how about debugging etc. Can you have Visual Studio attach to the process and perform "run time" debugging/ breakpoints?
Sure, it's a plain asp.net application, so you can easily attach to the process from within vs.net.
