[terri]

Hi,

I am new with alfresco.  Is it possible to use alfresco to be used in .net platform (asp.net 2.0).

Thanks,
Terri

You can have your asp.net files been managed within Alfresco WCM which is a pure Java Web Application and an Excellent Content Management Tool with Workflow and etc.

Later you can publish the asp.net content managed by Alfresco to a Microsoft IIS webserver.

I do not know how best you can use the Preview option of Alfresco WCM to preview your asp.net files. I do not know whether its possible to link the virtualization server with Microsoft IIS Server to server your pages.

Thanks,
Vijay

With our 2.2 release we are adding the ability to add test servers where you can deploy content from individual user sandboxes.  This enables users to preview content/the site for sites that are not Java based, like .NET, PHP, ColdFusion, etc.

See http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Deployment#Live.2FTest_Server_Deployment for specific info, or the full page http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Deployment for all the details.

That is fantastic, but do you know when that feature will be available for the community version? Any info would be appreciated.
