.NET Open Source CMS to use as framework with Jquery and MVP

Question

I've been reading some articles about Open Source CMS.

I am looking for something like a .NET CMS framework that implements MVP (no MVC) structural pattern, jQuery so i can add my own classes, UserControls, Pages and whatever i want.

I've heard about Umbraco and N2. Not sure if those are the best or simply what i am looking for.

Does anybody know about these frameworks? Any other suggestion?

Answer 1

I've used Umbraco with the MVP pattern (version 4.7). It is quite good, though it does force you to use User Controls and Master Pages. It does do a lot in XSLT, but it is easy to bypass this so you are using pure C#.

It's very easy to pick up as well. Worth a try, this is the only open source CMS I have worked with so far though.

Also have a look at Orchard.
