So you can use the same code as you originally wanted without any need for a change. umbraco is different from "the rest" as it see you as the king instead of the system as a king. So you shouldn't integrate to the system - the system shall integrate to you :) How much time did you spend on creating your own cms - I'd be happy to take the challenge to completely re-produce your effect with umbraco without any need to modify the umbraco core ;-) Cheers, Niels / umbraco The effect you want could very easily be re-created with umbraco as it neither effects your markup - you’re in complete control.

Umbraco lets you do what ever you like. Usercontrols, xslt and your own markup. Completly. Kindly, Jesper Nice effect … but you didn’t do your research and made a wrong turn. Umbraco lets you do what ever you like. Usercontrols, xslt and your own markup. Completly.

Kindly,

As I mentioned, I did not delve deeply into Umbraco, however out of the two free .NET CMS apps, I did find Umbraco to be the easier of the two. I may have jumped the gun by building my own, but the experience taught me a lot and in turn I was able to share that newfound knowledge with the readers here. So all in all it was a worthwhile endeavor. How long did this take me? Well, if I would have known how to use PageMethods beforehand I would have saved a lot of time (at least an hour). As it is though, it took me about 3 hours to get the initial work complete. Niels, if you wish to reproduce the effect with Umbraco, then I would love to see it. I am sure that the readers here would love to see that. Shoot me an email and we can get the "challenge" setup correctly. David Hey Niels and Jesper, thanks for the comments.

There isn't a right or wrong on this...just personal preference. David P.S.

The reason for the UpdatePanel is to give the CMS an "ajax feel". Without it, the page will work, but you will get the flickering from a full page reload. I have used the CMS a couple of times (and I am actually expanding it and hoping to turn it into its own little project) and haven't had any problems with the UpdatePanel.
