Hi Tom,

You can easily use Umbraco Services for retrieving and manipulating data from Umbraco.

Thanks

Hi Tom,

I've not used it but there is a example console application here that uses the ContentService to create content.

Thank you very much for the link.  However, I am having trouble with the console application.

After changing the umbracoDbDSN connection string I recompiled the console application and ran it.  It worked!

Note:  Iam using VS 2013.

But when I ran it the second thrid time, my VIsual Studio debugger errored out on this line.

{"Could not load types from assembly umbraco, Version=1.0.5133.26615, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null, errors:\r\nException: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Net.Http, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies.

I went to Task Manager and thought maybe there was something loaded that did not get unlaoded when I stopped the debugger.  I found UmbConsole.vshost.exe file hanging around.  But when I deleted it, it came back.

Have you seen this?  

What can I do?

Thanks

Tom

Oh I am using Umbraco 7 and code fails on this line.

protected override void InitializeApplicationEventsResolver()
       {            
base.InitializeApplicationEventsResolver();
}

To start I would suggest updating the UmbracoCms.Core NuGet package to v7.2.1 as a lot has changed since v7.0.2 and see if it still compiles...?

Jeavon:

Actually I am on 7.2.1.  The code compiles and runs great the first time.  After that, I'm getting the above mentioned VS error.

I realinze you did not write the code and was only being helpful.  But have you tried running the code?

Thanks

Tom
