I just wonder if there's an easy application that would allow me and others to edit a sitemap for ASP.NET in a more visual way. For me, the XML format isn't difficult to understand but I want someone else to modify a current sitemap for me and this person is unfamiliar with XML and would not understand a non-graphical interface.
So, is there a simple tool that allows me to edit a sitemap visually?
try ASP.NET 2.0 Web Menu Editor
Try some of these:

Is there any approach to have a simple WYSWYG free web editor (preferably drag'n'drop widgets -based) embedded or integrated into Sharepoint 2010?
I am shocked because this answer seems to not exist... So far I've found...
Plugins for integrating Sharepoint into Drupal, Joomla or Wordpress, but I want the opposite, using those interfaces to create content stored in Sharepoint, without having to export HTMLs and adapting them to SP arquitecture and metadata. If not, I cannot even find any way to export a Wordpress/Drupal site into Sharepoint.
Web content rich editor: Am I doing something wrong is this just an html loader that does not edit a thing?
Webparts: all seem to be costly, and I am not sure there even exists a nice one for that concrete task
Could somebody point me to the most optimal solution for non-tech users using this feature? Thank you
By the way, is there any public web part repository from microsoft. Even searching that in google does not throw any interesting info..
Most public, open source projects for Microsoft can be found at http://www.codeplex.com/.
Regarding your requirement, if I understand correctly, you want to have a way to store content in SharePoint for display in a drupal or other CMS. The content should be in HTML format. If I understand you correctly, the easiest way to do this is to create a basic SharePoint list, add a multiline column and set the type of text to Enhanced rich text (Rich text with pictures, tables, and hyperlinks). When you add an item to the list, the form will include a form element that has a WYSWYG editor.
I've integrated SharePoint with Linux before using Curl. It's not easy, but can be done.
I think visual studio is wysiwyg like editor so do I need to learn programming?
Yes, you need to if you need to add dynamic functionality to your asp.net website.
WYSIWYG if just in terms of visual, like dropping Buttons and layout of the form. For functionality, you are required to code in either C# or VB.net
Unless you just want to design a set of static pages, then yes.
You might want to take a look at Lightswitch:

It depends what you mean by "website".
For anything more complex than some static pages you're going to need to learn some kind of programming.
Even with a basic site you'll want to learn CSS and HTML. The code produced by any WYSIWYG is rarely up to standard.
Yes, you need to learn programming, in some form or the other. If you're just looking to create some static HTML pages, you should probably look into something like Dreamweaver instead of Visual Studio. The learning curve with Dreamweaver isn't as steep.
We have a Asp.Net Vb.Net application with around 35 webforms.There are some remote users who do not have the functional idea of the webforms.So i was thinking of adding a help file in my project.Is there any special component or javascript ? will it be a good option if i go with form by form or a single help file ?
An Implementation we have done for a web application we develop is a one-to-one form help file approach. In other words, we have the same "file structure" between forms and help files. So each web form has an according help file, which we display as a simple html page.
As an added tip, we use the same naming convention with _help added as a suffic. e.g.
Transactions.aspx ->
Transactions.help.html
I would simply add a (possibly static html) help page or set of pages and link to it from all of your winform pages.
I have a XML file , that I need to show to the users in readable format i.e in formatting.
how this can be done with ASP.net website.
Any Help
You can use Xml control to perform XSL transformation.
Actipro Software has a great and FREE ASP.NET control that allows you to view XML (and other content) in a syntax highlighted fashion - it's called CodeHighlighter:

It's read-only, but if that's good enough for your scenario, it's the best solution around, I think!
Recently, I was working with PHP.
In PHP we have a powerful template engine like Smarty.
Do we have something like Smarty in ASP.NET ?
Quick google search :
Try one of these :)

Well, you could argue that all ASP.NET webform pages are similar to templates, as they don't need to (and usually don't) have any application logic within the .aspx pages (it all goes in the codebehind). However, you might find that ASP.NET MVC is even more like what you are familiar with. ASP.NET MVC supports a number of view engines, too.
Have you tried Dotliquid?
It's old but still working great with webforms. You can even have User Controls loaded dynamically that use Dotliquid templates to present data from a database or a webapi, giving you the possibility to change the presentation layer by only editing html mixed with Liquid Language (not fully covered).
