    Umbraco WebForm Basic Question

    Hello,

    I am new to Umbraco and trying to build the website using the Umbraco WebForms and not the MVC as I dont have much knowledge about it.

    My first question is how does the Umbraco stores pages. For example, I create a Master page and then inside that I created Home and Contact Us pages. But I can't find the aspx file for those two pages (Home and Contact Us).

    Also does Umbraco only creates Master Pages and not the aspx files?

    Is it possible to connect to a separate database also and pull some data for the website from there?

    Finally, can someone please point me to some Umbraco Webform tutorials (I found lot of them for MVC but not for WebForms).

    Thank you much. J

    Hi,

    Umbraco doesn't create aspx page for each page.

    Umbraco stores content in database, and uses templates for rendering.

    You will not have aspx pages.

    Great tutorial about Webform templates - https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Templating/Masterpages/

    Example how to move webForms to MVC - https://umbraco.com/follow-us/blog-archive/2013/7/14/moving-from-webforms-to-mvc/

    I think WebForms is great with Umbraco, but MVC is more convenient.

    Thanks, Alex
