Hi All,

 

I am an experienced Asp.Net MVC developer and new to DNN9. Just installed DNN 9.11.0 on my local couple of days before.

Is it possible to integrate DNN with my ASP.Net MVC project using some Nuget package? As an example I can share some of my thoughts for this Asp.Net MVC project.

  1. This project will have their own login, registration pages, profile and other screens created related to project requirements in ASP.NET MVC and own local data base, nothing to do with  DNN.
  2. I just want to create some static pages in DNN which content writers can create, edit and then render those static pages in my ASP.Net MVC site.

 

Regards

Tarunjit Singh

Basically DNN is built on ASP.Net web forms, not on MVC. But there is a possibility to use the MVC pattern in DNN, technically spoken in a server-side MVC control. There are some differences in routing, but it is possible.

Happy DNNing!

Hi,

In continuation to my last comment. I already have a Asp.NET MVC project running and now i have to inegrate DNN environemnt in it so that content writers can create content pages and we could show these content pages in our existing ASP.NET MVC site.

Is it possible to integrated DNN 9 version with existing ASP.NET MVC project and fullful above mentioned requirements.If yes please let me know how to go forward with such integration?

Regards

TBH, I don't know, as I have not used MVC with DNN yet in any project. But I am sure there are others around here who can help you with this...

Happy DNNing!
Michael

If you have a DNN website instance and an ASP.NET MVC instance, and you wish to have them both working together you really should be looking at three basic options (with hybrids available in between): 

  1. Merge the applications together, most likely porting all of the code/functionality from one to the other.  In most cases, DNN is what you'd move to in this situation since it's maintained by people around the world with constant releases, and it contains a ton of features and protections that you'll never have to build yourself.  
  2. Implement a single sign-on between the two websites.  This way, someone logging into one of the sites could either just seamlessly navigate to the other website and not have to log in, or they can at least use the same login credentials.  
  3. Integrate the features between the two websites.  If there are shared features/functionalities, you can definitely have them share an API to get/send the information and/or a direct data connection.  

These suggestions are going to be common for most scenarios like this one.  I hope this helps!

They all come up in any Nuget search that exists.
