Hi,

This may be a really silly question but I am brand new to DNN + CMS so please treat me gently!

There seems to be a lot of focus in all the documentation on how to start from scratch and administer your full website.  What I am looking for is a way to control access to and administer a section of an existing application.  Is this possible?

I have seen commercial CMS that integrate into Visual Studio and then allow you to load a CMSControl into a placeholder.  So that you can then use the CMS system to alter the content of that  one block but I cant seem to find any information on this with DNN.

Am I just searching for the wrong thing or am I looking at the wrong framework entirely?

Any information and links to suitable articles would be really gratefully recieved.

Many thanks

Mutt

Thank you for the prompt reply Pete,

Sorry I should have been more clear and said that I want users to be able to edit content within the application as well as control who has access to the content editor. 

I have just started a new job and have been asked to investigate CMS systems to extend their current, fully featured ASP.NET applications.  In the main they are n-tiered, relatively complex, most running across multiple locations with bespoke themed CMS by host.  

What we want is to be able to allow user access to areas on the page so that they can edit content but also control this access, if possible by subdomain.

As I say this is my first experience of CMS and I cant see any Visual Studio integration that would allow me to integrate DNN content into my existing pages.  Have I missed something?

I am also going to investigate Umbraco and I have seen that Ektron seems to have controls that allow some integration to existing applications but then of course we would have to pay.

Thanks! 

Mutt
