Because WebMatrix is easy to use, but also the keys directly start Visual Studio, so in order to reduce the number of mouse click on the right mouse movement and the length of the track, so now almost all use WebMatrix installation.
Orchard install four ways set out below:
First, using the Microsoft Web Platform Installer.
Second, the use of Microsoft WebMatrix.
Third, download the Orchard Zip archive.
Fourth, by the command line or the Visual Studio build Orchard
On my personal preferences, the original feel Visual Studio Professional Edition can be used, why must use WebMatrix, it is likely to use Web Platform Installer to install, simple to use but because WebMatrix, but also the keys directly start Visual Studio, so in order to reduce Right click on the number and length of the track mouse movement, so far, almost all using WebMatrix installation.
Although I did not support the WebMatrix IntelliSense, but instead forced me to think about how to use the known methods of the class do the same job, so narrow range of studies indirectly enhance productivity.
For example, the 2011/08/18 published paradigm, originally planned to direct expansion method for IContentManager design, but because of limited understanding for generics, so the time to study than expected, but then take into account the similarities and differences of WebMatrix and Visual Studio, instead, after the first call to promote their own determined Query () method and then call through IContentManager List () method returns a value into their familiar IEnumerable, and then expand the use of generic methods to complete the goal.
