    <p>Full disclosure, I work for Telerik and I'm the Sitefinity Evangelist.</p> <p><strong>Full integration in Visual Studio 2010 and our existing Application (so no Umbraco)</strong></p> <p>This is a difficult item to claim with a blanket statement. </p> <p>I don't know much about your existing application. Our customers have accomplished a lot of Sitefinity integrations with various applications. This could be done through web services, custom controls or simply accounting for external URL's in Sitefinity's sitemap. Feel free to post to our <a href="http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;q=sitefinity%20forums" rel="nofollow">Sitefinity forums</a> for recommendations for your specific scenario.</p> <p>Regarding Visual Studio integration, Sitefinity includes Telerik RadControls and OpenAccess ORM. We also try to align ourselves closely with traditional ASP.NET technologies.</p> <p><strong>Common ASP.NET Web Forms Developing practices</strong></p> <ul> <li>Sitefinity Templates = ASP.NET Master Pages</li> <li>Editable CMS regions = ContentPlaceHolders</li> <li>Sitefinity Widgets = ASP.NET Controls</li> <li>Sitefinity Themes = ASP.NET Themes</li> </ul> <p>We make the marketing claim "<em>if you know ASP.NET, then you know Sitefinity</em>". However, realistically all products comes with some learning curve. As much as possible we try to align ourselves with the experience ASP.NET developers already have.</p> <p><strong>Security (FormsAuthentication, custom Membership-/RoleProvider)</strong></p> <p>Sitefinity's authentication is based on traditional ASP.NET Membership &amp; Role providers. We've included a couple (Sitefinity &amp; Active Directory) but you can extend with your own.</p> <p><strong>Very flexible and extendable (good API)</strong></p> <p>Our API is LINQ enabled and we also have a <a href="http://www.sitefinity.com/40/help/developers-guide/deep-dive-fluent-api-overview.html" rel="nofollow">Fluent API</a>. We also have a full RESTful web service API.</p> <p><strong>Lightweight CMS with good performance (thousands of simultaneous requests)</strong></p> <p>Our own Telerik web sites run on Sitefinity, and many of <a href="http://www.sitefinity.com/showcases/featured.aspx" rel="nofollow">our customers</a> support web sites that handle a large volume of traffic.</p> <p>However, I'm not sure what constitutes "lightweight". Many CMS's have little overhead, but also do very little. We've tried to deliver a lot of features and end-user friendliness with Sitefinity. This comes at the cost of some overhead.</p> <p>Managing the balance between a CMS that "helps you" and "gets out of your way" is a constant challenge. The best I can promise is that we're aware of the challenge and we're doing our best to deliver effective results.</p> <p><strong>Easy content editing</strong></p> <p><a href="http://www.sitefinity.com/devnet/video-tutorials/pages-management/page-setup-with-widgets.aspx" rel="nofollow">Judge for yourself.</a> Even better, download the product and let your content editors experiment. We welcome the comparison. Over &amp; over again, this becomes our differentiator.</p> <p>--</p> <p>Hopefully this post doesn't sound like a lot of evangelist BS. I've tried to be accurate with my answers. Best of luck with your project.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
