Lightweight .Net CMS Library

Question

I am looking for a lightweight CMS Library for a .net MVC application. I don't need any frontend management, just a library that can store and retrieve pieces of content. I plan on writing the frontend myself. The most complex thing I can see myself needing to store is a set of news posts. Aside from this I need to be able to store sets of arbitrary key value pairs for each page. Resource files probably provide the best model for this except that they are not editable and persistable during run time.

The closest thing I have found is Eucalypto which looks like it should fit the bill pretty well. I can rip out the forums and wiki easily enough as I don't need them. But it doesn't seem to have been developed for a while and I have heard nothing about it in the past and so would be worried about reliability. Any ideas of a library that might do this?

I am aware that it might be simpler to just roll my own SQL database for something this simple, but if a good library esists it could save me some time and trouble.

Answer 1

You may want to take a look at a document database. MindTouch's Dream comes to mind - it's the engine behind DekiWiki, and runs on Mono. I assume it'd also run on .NET with no (or minimal) changes.

I would recoment having a look at n2. Contains most things you need for a normal site without being to bloated. The datalayer is based on NHiberbnate so you can use most relational databases. Works well with MVC aswell.
