Is it possible to integrate a Wordpress blog with ASP.NET If yes, then how?
+1
A:
Wordpress is written in PHP, and asp.net is in .Net. The server side language is different, what do you mean by integrate?
If you are talking about having the main side (www.mysite.com) is ASP.NET, and the blog side ( blog.mysite.com) is Wordpress, then yes, it is possible. You just have to install the main side and blog side differently, and then use the IIS or Apache to redirect according to the sub-domain name.
If you want the user record to synchronize the data between your ASP.NET and your WordPress blog, then yes, this is possible. But the process is quite elaborate.
When a user registers an account at your ASP.NET, in addition to writing to your ASP.NEt database, you should also write to you WordPress database. I am not aware of any API exposed by WordPress to manipulate its underlying database, so worse come to worse you have to study the WordPress database schema, and maybe the WordPress PHP code, in order to learn how to do the user registration thing.
The same goes for other operation.
In short, you can do whatever you want to do, but it is very tedious.

I am a developer and we are using a similar system. We use linked servers in our Microsft SQL Server Management Studio. By setting up our linked server we are able to use our variables in MS SQL to affect our wordpress database and are able to control all aspects of our wordpress blog through MS SQL.
Here is a great article about setting up a linked server:
