Congratulations—you’ve now created your first template! Templates ensure that a consistent look and feel is applied across pages that are generated from it. They also act as special kinds of web forms where authors can enter content in special editable regions without needing to know how to create a web page.
Templates are made up of two distinct parts:
Template files
Template gallery items
Template files are created and managed in Visual Studio .NET in MCMS-enabled projects. Developers define the layout, design, and behavior of the page by writing code in template files.
MCMS provides an add-on to Visual Studio .NET called MCMS Template Explorer. Developers use the MCMS Template Explorer to create MCMS template gallery items in the MCMS repository. Once created, template gallery items are linked to template files.
