Create .NET applications to run within WordPress

  • Hello everyone,

    I am an ASP.Net developer and have taken on the role of web master for my daughter’s speed skating organization. One of the main things I and the board want to do is redesign the organization’s website and I am looking to use a CMS system like WordPress to do this. I could develop my own asp site, but I don’t wish to do this since I am not planning on doing this for the rest of my life and the person who takes over for me down the road may not be a developer.

    For the most part the site will just be used to host content, articles, pictures, etc. However, I would like to setup a secure section that users can access their (and only their) scores and times on. I also would like to build a couple of little .Net apps that will allow people to register online and others to enter data from competitions.

    Is this something I can do within WordPress. Can someone point me to documentation on this? If this is not possible, what are some recommended solutions? Is my only option to completely separate WordPress and my .Net pages?

    Thank you.

  • You cannot use WordPress on .asp hosting. See the WordPress minimum requirements.

    Thanks for your reply esmi.

    Do you mean that I can’t host asp, within WordPress? Are my options then to go a different route and host WordPress within my asp environment instead of the other way around I found this site indicating it could be done: https://abbottps.com/2011/05/16/how-to-integrate-a-wordpress-and-a-net-web-application-on-iis7/

    I realize I always have the option to use WordPress for content and a separate site for the custom pieces, but was hoping someone would have information on how to integrate the two. I would love to be able to do this using the same platform as WordPress (PHP) but I have never used it before and don’t really have time to learn it to the extent I need (ok sob story over. sorry about that).

    I am always open to suggestions if there are any to use this with WordPress (I use WordPress for my own site and really enjoy it).

    No – I mean you cannot host a WordPress site on a server that runs ASP instead of PHP. The server must also run PHP and MySQL.

    This is fine, I already have a server where I run both ASP and PHP as well as SQL Server and MySQL. My question, was could a .NET app be integrated within WordPress (even as an iFrame) or do I need to keep the two completely separate?

    You could use an iframe but that’s about it as far as I am aware.
