This blog post provides some guidance to help you decide whether to implement a custom data provider in the Sitecore ASP.NET web Content Management System (CMS). Data providers abstract systems so that you can access the contained data through the common Sitecore Application Programming Interface (API). The Sitecore Developer Network (SDN) forum thread Is it possible to build a data provider to communicate with data source in an existing business layer? prompted me to write this blog post. For more information about data providers, see Integrating External Data Sources on SDN and @techphoria414's blog post The Black Art of Sitecore Custom Data Providers.

This blog post explains how you can configure Sitecore to store IDs of presentation component data sources in layout details rather than storing their paths as the Sitecore ASP.NET web Content Management System (CMS) does by default. With this solution, you can move and rename data source items without the need to publish items containing layout details that refer to those items. Comments on the blog post Add Presentation Component Data Sources to the Links Database in the Sitecore ASP.NET CMS and the Data Source as GUID vs Path thread on the Sitecore Developer Network (SDN) forums prompted me to write this blog post. For more information about presentation components and data sources, see The Sitecore Presentation Component Reference and the blog post How to Apply Data Sources to Sitecore ASP.NET Presentation Components.

This blog post solicits online reviews of the first edition of the Professional Sitecore Development book published by Wrox (part of John Wiley & Sons, Inc.) in May of 2012. My goal in requesting this effort on your part is to improve the quality of a possible second edition, most likely focused on Sitecore CMS 7. In no way would I ask anyone to say only positive things about this work. I am quite confident that I will continue to find more flaws with this product than any reader possibly could (including my editors).
