The layout issue i mentioned is resolved. I will check this and let you know. So do you mean to say that one web.config(of Sitecore) for all applications under Sitecore? By default there is a Home default node what should be done to this. Can you elaborate the Step 6 in detail from your reply to eliot(not an expert in sitecore), what to do in Sitecore, and what to do in the web.config.? Thank you again, Raj Hi Richard,

This project is only used to create .ascx controls. Upon successful build, the dll will be places in the bin of the main web app and the .ascx files are copied through to the main web apps layouts/site folder. This way I have a seperate DLL for the controls made in the second web application.

I have not tried the Virtual directory approach. I would say that you should stick to the initial approach I have suggested because this has been tried and tested. Hi Raj,

It gives me hope for my current problem. I am also in the Same scenario, can you detail me the final approach taken for setting this up. I want multiple web sites in one installation. Layouts/sublayouts/code related to each website should be in separated folder/dlls. Did Eliot's workaround succeeded without any issues. Please provide me with some inputs on this as it is very urgent. I have created a single website as cookbook. How can I make separation here? I just tried for adding folders inside layout and it gives me error that layout not found. Sitecore content editor: -Created a folder under layout -Moved the layout there -Assigned the moved layout to the item. Visual studio. - Added a folder under layouts. - Moved the layout there. I need for the sublayout too the same behaviour. Expect your expert inputs. What do you suggest.? Thanks you in advance, Raj Hello Richard,

I am totally new to Sitecore and starting with 6. :( So far i am really confused by reading lots of docs and pdfs. Can you simply elaborate or guide me on how to start in a Sitecore 6 from scratch? I will pickup the rest from docs. Like... - First step creating website. - How to create a page with proper formatting like headers/footers/main content/left menu... If you have any screenshots for the above steps please send it to me on my email address: nirav.eng.comp@gmail.com if it is not difficult for you. It will be very valuable for me. Thanks, Nirav Thanks Richards,

The best advice I can give you is: Go through the developer cookbook: http://sdn5.sitecore.net/Developer/Developers%20Cookbook.aspx - The fundamentals of a successful sitecore solution design is not really different between V5.3 and V6, can I assume that you have had 5.3 training? Try get your hands on the Nicam sitecore demo site a dissect how it works. Nirav, there is far too much here to simply document.

I am newbie to Sitecore. I have not taken a training on Sitecore 6, just going through the resources. Pardon me for taking your time. Since you are an expert in Sitecore. We think you can help us in regarding this: Please provide us the step by step development document/guide for Sitecore CMS 6 from scratch. We have an immediate requirement to develop a portal in Sitecore 6. We have to create a portal with pages having Common Header, Left Column and Footer. The site also will refer external .net Dlls for Some data. The pages will have grids, third party chart controls etc with customized coding based on the data from external Data. We are very confused by reading the scattered documents(as we haven't got training). How can we approach this? - How to start with this. - Maintaining same look and feel for multiple pages ( Common Headers/Footers etc) - Using third party controls - Setting up the dev environment for Team Foundation Server and VS 2008 for Sitecore. Please provide your valuable inputs. Thanks in advance, Nirav nirav.eng.comp@gmail.com Hi Richard,
