Integrate CMS into ASP.NET MVC web application?

Question

I've been building an ASP.NET MVC 3 web application for about 11 months now, and I have some content based components that I'd like to separate from the actual HTML views and move to more of a CMS system. This will allow the communications people in my company handle that portion of the content without requiring the web app to be redeployed.

I'm not looking for a full CMS system. I have specific places in the web app where I want to be able to include CMS based content, and I'd like to be able to host a blog on the CMS as well.

Has anyone seen anything similar to this before?

Answer 1

I think you should check Orchard. It is open source CMS build on ASP.NET MVC 3 and default feature set also contains Blogs.

Answer 2

You can plug Umbraco v5 into an existing MVC site or an existing MVC site into Umbraco v5. Umbraco v5 is a complete rewrite currently based on MVC3.
