Is There a Good CMS to Use with ASP.Net MVC

Question

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?

Note: I've been using Orchard as the base for CMS for a while now and would definitely recommend it. — KevDog, Aug 18 '11 at 02:38

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

+1 for N2 - I've not downloaded the latest **release** of this, but the up to date code from GoogleCode certainly appears to reference the latest versions of System.Web.Mvc.dll - it's a matter of moments to recompile it anyway, it's also a very good CMS. – Zhaph - Ben Duguid Mar 18 '09 at 12:08
Oxite has a number of "issues" especially around best practices or the potential lack of... – Zhaph - Ben Duguid Mar 18 '09 at 12:10

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

I wish there was a good CMS in MVC. However MVC isn't even RTM yet! The thing with current .NET CMSs are that they don't handle URLs very well. I'm hoping a CMS built on MVC will pop up at some point.

Try Composite C1. I have developed a few MVC modules for this. The good thing is that you can have both MVC and Web Form modules working side by side in this CMS.

In my opinion, the only decent CMS is the one you write yourself. Just the features you want, with no inactive sections, but if you want to have a solid base to start with, try MVCwCMS (Please note I'm the author).

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.

The .NET version of the site seems to have died. – Adam Nofsinger Nov 02 '10 at 16:20

Oxite might be the closest to what you are after at the moment although I think it is more of a blog engine.
