I have a small site I developed for a friend that uses ASP.Net MVC and was wondering if I could hook it up to dotnetnuke or another CMS. Or is doing an admin site using dynamic data?

Take a look at OpenSourceCms.com, they might have what you're looking for or the demos there might at least help lead you to an answer.

Here is a list of a few ASP.NET MVC based CMS's. However these are not based on the current release candidate but I think they are a pretty good start.

N2 Open Source ASP.NET CMS http://n2cms.com/

Oxite http://www.visitmix.com/Lab/Oxite

Hydrogen CMS http://www.hydrogencms.net/Home.aspx

Take a look to Kooboo (kooboo.com). A simple to use and flexible CMS based upon ASP.NET MVC.
