Integrate CMS Application with Custom ASP .Net Solution

Question

Currently i am working on one custom asp .net application, client wants to integrate the application with some CMS portal.

i.e. WSS 3.0, Umbraco, SiteCore, EPiServer, N2CMS

I want some resources to analyze that what are the possible options for CMS and do the cooperative analysis.

I need some analysis document (if already exist) for pros and cons of different CMS solutions.

So, i can suggest the best option to my client.

Answer 1

I've been looking into a lot of CMS stuff recently. EpiServer is expensive for licenses so you may want to consider an open source CMS.

Have a look at this

Answer 2

MindTouch is an open source Wiki / CMS system with C# core, PHP to serve up content, and a scripting language called DekiScript. The back end code is very solid and you can integrate it with other ASP.net solutions, as you can get at the content via the C# API.

It also has database connectors for SQL, MySQL and Oracle, as well as a very nicely XML based document storage system which again is exposed via the C# API. Currently they are working on a schema-less data store for CouchDB style functionality.
