I'm new to Umbraco and this is a very general question. I have an existing ASP.NET MVC Application with EF [1], which I want to integrate into Umbraco 7. I guess I'd need to convert my models and views into templates somehow, if thats possible? I use a lot of JavaScript Functions on my existing MVC Application, which interacts with my views. Is there a way to use that JS code in Umbraco as well?
Umbraco uses views as templates. You need do nothing if you won't change data source.
If you want to move all your data in Umbraco and render it from Umbraco, you have to change templates and create Umbraco structure.
Embed existing ASP.NET MVC Application into Umbraco 7
Hello everybody
I'm new to Umbraco and this is a very general question. I have an existing ASP.NET MVC Application with EF [1], which I want to integrate into Umbraco 7. I guess I'd need to convert my models and views into templates somehow, if thats possible? I use a lot of JavaScript Functions on my existing MVC Application, which interacts with my views. Is there a way to use that JS code in Umbraco as well?
What I already did is creating a new MVC project and import the Umbraco files into it according to this guide: http://www.systenics.com/blog/setting-up-umbraco-6-in-visual-studio-2012-for-mvc-development/ .
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,

Hi Ronin,
Umbraco uses views as templates. You need do nothing if you won't change data source. If you want to move all your data in Umbraco and render it from Umbraco, you have to change templates and create Umbraco structure.
How deep will be your integration with Umbraco ?
Do you want to move all your data in Umbraco CMS?
Thanks
