I would just like to know how to develop a website using umbraco - isen't there anyway to use visual studio 2010 with umbraco? - so that i could write all my code / design the website in VS2010 and then "publish" it to umbraco? or do i have to use the umbraco edit file function?
Well.. if you use some sort of other method wich makes it easyer than using umbraco directly please let me know.
maybe also disable access to the developer and settings sections for your admins/editors, so that you don't wipe out any changes that they might make through the umbraco admin interface...
You don't need the edit file functionality at all.
Personally, I declare my Razor/XSLT macros or Templates, using the Developer and Settings sections and then I edit them using VS.
After declaration if you don't see them in Solution Explorer, refresh the masterpages/macroscripts/xslt folders accordingly and you will see the files there.
How do you develop your website?

Hi Mathias,

If you are working solo, I find it easier to:
1. Create a new solution for the prjoect with one base project to be used for extending umbraco by adding any events or webservices.
2. Add the ubmraco install as a website project (now you have two)
3. Setup VS's post build event on your first project to copy the dll to the umbraco folder
You can use VS to manage the scripts,js,css,less,etc in your website project.
