Kentico and external applications
Hi,

I have a Kentico 3.X and I need to include a external application into Kentico. What would be the best solution to include the external application into Kentico? One solution could be two web parts, one for kentico header and other for kentico footer. The external application should include the header and the footer with Server.Execute command. I have tested this solution but the external applications does not works correctly (the external application is an ASPNET AJAX 2.0).

Is there another way to include header and footer of kentico on external applications?

Regards.

Hello,

Could you please check the following link? The document describes some approaches on how to intergrate an existing application into Kentico.

Hello Boris,

I have ckecked the documentation. The best aproach will be the "Having CMS in the root and your application in a subfolder". In the production enviroinment, we have 3 application integrated with kentico working correctly. The new application we want to integrate with kentico is using AJAX. We have develop 2 web parts, one for header and one for footer that is used by the master page of this four applications. More or less, the master page is:

<%= Server.Execute("header.aspx") %>
<form runat="server"...>
<asp:ScriptManager ID="scriptManager" runat="server" />
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="aspx_content" runat="server" />
</form>
<%= Server.Execute("footer.aspx") %>

Header.aspx generates the following code:
<form id="form1" runat="server"...>
<!-- HTML from the header -->
</form>

We have problems with the application that has AJAX enabled. If web disable the AJAX engine, the apllication works correctly.

HAs kentico any problem working with AJAX applications?

Regards.

Hi,
We aren't aware of any problems with ajax, many our customers use it in their websites and so do we.
It will be great if you could debug the behavior and find out what is causing the problems or at least describe us what is wrong.
