- SQL Server 2005 Express *

Wildcard mapping (IIS 5-6.1)¶
On IIS 5 to IIS 6.1 wildcard mapping can be enabled to support “extensionless urls” (no ending .aspx on each page address). Wilcard mapping is an IIS feature that enables requests to all types of resources to pass through managed ASP.NET code. This allows N2 CMS to serve pages for pages not ending with .aspx. This is configured slightly differently depending on IIS version. Try searching and pick the version you’re using: http://www.google.com/search?q=iis+wildcard+mapping
Visual Studio Development¶
- Visual Studio 2012 is recommended for site development with N2CMS.
- Visual Studio Express can also be used.
Visual Studio 2012 project files are included in the N2CMS source tree.
