I'm trying to wrap my head around this and would appreciate any insight how one would do this.
I basically have a database of 20,000 companies I want to create a listing site for and would like to publish the data dynamically within Umbraco and display the data in various ways. Such as by state, county, business type, etc.
If the data is in the external database I want umbraco to display it, but I still want the ability to manage the templates of the pages the dynamic data is displayed in.
Anyone doing this now?
Thanks.
Jose

You could build xslt libraries to call .NET methods and return the data as xml for the xslt.
It would not be template based, but, it would at least be presentation control in umbraco.

I think the best way is to creat a SOAP service on your existing application/database, its not too hard from Umbraco to retrieve data from a soapservice, there is already a sample with Umbraco/Flickr. The good thing about creating a soapservice is that you keep stuff seperated, which is never a bad thing i think.
