Extend the CMS Using ASP .NET MVC

Directly Register MVC Code as Sitefinity Widgets

Progress Sitefinity Web Content Management System works with ASP.NET MVC out of the box and you can directly integrate your MVC code: POCO models, Razor Views and Controllers. Add a simple attribute to register your controller and it automatically becomes available to end users to place onto pages using drag and drop. The system also supports a hybrid development environment, where your WebForms controls and MVC widgets can live together. 

Full Razor Support

The MVC engine in Sitefinity gives you full control over markup that your custom widgets generate, including full Razor support. Build out your views using your favorite templating engine and as an added bonus you get complementary use of the Kendo UI - an HTML5 and Javascript UI Framework that brings a new level of productivity, functionality and beauty to front-end development.

APIs That Work for Model Binding

Sitefinity ASP.NET MVC exposes an API that allows you to easily perform any operation to any object controlled by the system, therefore allowing you to meet any UX, functional or integration requirement. In addition by design the majority of the API methods work seamlessly with LINQ and return objects and collections that automatically bind to your razor views. 

Control Over Routing

Sitefinity is based on the MVC routing engine and it provides rich features so that users can control the URL structure of any resource out of the box, while still giving developers the familiar convention-based routing within their controllers. In case you also need control over custom routes, the system has you covered with a full access pass to the Route Table.
