Opening the project |
After you create a new Kentico CMS web project, you can open it in Visual Studio 2005 by double-clicking the WebProject.sln file in Windows Explorer:
If this option doesn't work, you can start Visual Studio 2005 and choose File -> Open -> Web Site in the main menu and navigate to the folder that contains the WebProject.sln file.

Making modification to the standard code
Although Kentico CMS is delivered with source code of the administration interface (CMS Desk, CMS Site Manager), it's recommended that you do NOT modify the default files to avoid problems when upgrading to a higher version (your changes may be overwritten by new code).
If you need to modify some dialog, note down its name and merge your modifications with the new version during the upgrade to a higher version of Kentico CMS.
If you need to modify some web part, create its copy and then modify it.
