Developing MCMS Web Applications
We are now ready to get started on developing our ASP.NET 2.0-based MCMS applications. There are a number of quirks with the MCMS web application templates, which we need to bear in mind during development.
- Switch back to Visual Studio 2005.
- In Solution Explorer, right-click on the website (http://localhost/mcmstest), and click New Folder.
- Enter Templates as the folder name.
- Right-click the Templates folder and click Add New Item
- In the Add New Item dialog, select the MCMS Template File item and enter Basic.aspx in the Name textbox. Click Add.
- The new
Basic.aspx template file is created and opened in Source View. - Examine the contents of
Basic.aspx.
Notice that the Basic.aspx file has a few problems. Some elements are highlighted by IntelliSense "squiggles", and if we attempt to build the website, a number of errors will prevent a successful build. Let's correct the Basic.aspx template file.
