Hello,
I want to use Umbraco to built a website. I know that while installing umbraco and getting started with it, we have to create a site database. But I on my website, I want to display data that is coming from a separate database. For example, on my website I want to create a search directory that is searching for data that user entered from a separate database than the site database. How do I achieve this regardless of any starter kit I use ?
You will of course add a extra connectionstring to your web.config pointing to your database.
Then you are completely free on how you get that data in your website. You can use Entity Framework, Nhibernate, PetaPoco (which is part of Umbraco) or just plain old ADO to connect to your database.
Can Umbraco be integrated with any third party data ?
