The Products sample project is a module that provides product listings built on top of a native content-based module in Sitefinity. Content-based modules themselves are based on Generic Content and reuse much of the functionality available for generic content.

The Products sample demonstrates comprehensively the features of a content-based module that has all built-in functionality of a native Sitefinity module.

Using the Products sample, you can:

• Set up the solution
• Build the model
• Implement the data access layer
• Implement the module class
• Implement services
• Implement module configuration
• Provide localizable resources
• Create the UI of ContentView
• Creat Widget definitions

• Sitefinity license
• .NET Framework 4.5
• Visual Studio 2012
• Microsoft SQL Server 2008R2 or later versions
