episerver cms integration with mvc5 - asp.net

First of all I'm using Asp.net MVC5 Entity Framework 6 with code first database.
I want to ask about integrating Episerver CMS with mvc5 application to change content of the website, i have multiple questions:
Is it a good way to use Episerver to change the content, if my website is for articles and images(it's like news website)?
In deploying stage is there any issues(for those who use the Episerver extension).
If i'm using code-first sql server database, is there any issue with this?
I noticed that there is a useful explanation on youtube for this extension:
Episerver CMS 9 tutorial with asp.net mvc 5 och twitter bootstrap 3 part 1
the forth question, is there any better way to create CMS for MVC5 application.

If you implement Episerver CMS this will typically be your main application and content provider. Episerver is code first, Episerver uses EF, Episerver do support mvc5. Setup Episerver standalone and adapt and export your old datastructure and datamodel to fit that of a modern CMS.

Using umbraco 7.x for webform projects

Is it possible or is it suitable to use umbraco 7.x for webform projects?
I'm a beginner in ASP.NET MVC and I'm learning about it, now.
Now I get a website project that I should do it immediately.
I just can do project with ASP.NET Webform, but I'll immigrate from Webform to MVC in the future.I want to have less problems when I decide to immigrate to MVC.Then I want to use Umbraco 7.x for my project in order to my plan.
Now, my question:
Is it possible or is it suitable to use umbraco 7.x for webform projects?
Short answer is yes, you can mix MVC and Webforms within an Umbraco 7 project. The rendering engine is determined by the template.
If an MVC template is found then it will use MVC as the rendering engine, otherwise it will look for a .master template (in the masterpages folder) and if it finds one it will use Webforms

Integrate ASP.net MVC4 with Orchard CMS 1.6 as seperate sites

I would like an existing ASP.net MVC4 site to showpartials views from Orchard CMS. Is there a way I could have multiple ASP.net MVC4 sites talking to one Master Orcharch CMS website in a different domains?
I DO NOT want to create ASP.net MVC4 site as seperate module and integrate it into Orchard CMS website. I would like to have on Master Orchard CMS and have other ASP.net websites to show partial views of Orchard CMS. Is this scenario possible with latest Orchard CMS website or is there any other .NET CMS systems that supports this scenario?
MVC 4 is only supported in Orchard in version 1.6 and you should upgrade to 1.6.1 for security reasons.
I am pretty certain that what you are asking for is not in line with how Orchard is designed to work - and hence is not supported.
Very simply put the website IS Orchard CMS and MVC projects ARE modules within it; making a master is silly when modules are extensible.
A possible solution to your problem is to create some web service (AKA master) that services other Orchard sites.
Better still, decouple your base website application, and enable the parts you need on a per site basis.

ASP.net 4.5 / Forms Authentication

I want to set up forms authentication in my asp.net site. I have created one from a blank template in visual studio. I already have a database setup but it doesnt have any user tables. All of the reference material that I am able to find online is either for very old asp versions (which I assume things have changed) or tell you to use the visual studio templates. I want to know how to add this stuff to my current project and am hoping someone has good reference recommendations.
Thanks!
Have a look at Jon Galloway's SimpleMembership, Membership Providers, Universal Providers and the new ASP.NET 4.5 Web Forms and ASP.NET MVC 4 templates

You may take a look at Orchard CMS which is built on top of ASP.NET MVC. There are also N2Cms and Kooboo to name a few.
