RISE.CMS

The CMS is a Visual Studio 2010 solution template with a set of projects providing a complete Content Management System with full source, management GUI's, an example site and a RISE system model for re-designing the system itself.

The solution is a .VSIX file. Once it's downloaded you need to open/run the file to install it in Visual Studion 2010. CMS can also be installed directly inside Visual Studio by accessing the Extension Manager.

To create a new project based on the template, simply select New Project in the File menu and then choose the CMS template found under Installed Templates for Visual C#.

Use this solution as an introduction to the virtues of model-to-code, as an example of cutting edge RIA, as a starting point for building your CMS solution or, why not, as your ready-to-use CMS.

You may build your site by modifying the example site or by including calls to the CMS web services from any other web application capable of calling them, for instance your current web site.

How to Extend the CMS If you need to modify or extend the backend, open the model file CMS.rise in the RISE Editor and change the data model or business logics. Then simply right-click the file and choose "Generate code" to re-generate the code (c# source, web services, ajax proxies and database scripts). If you need to modify or extend the frontend, it's plain Javascript programming using YUI and some of our own classes that makes use of the auto-generated ajax/jQuery proxies.
