Launched recently is the new .NET CMS from Media Courtyard, currently in its second beta stage and due for final release over the coming months.
What makes this .NET CMS stand out is its use of the new Microsoft Silverlight 3 plugin which gives content editors an easy to use WYSIWYG interface.
The beta version can be freely downloaded and installed on a shared server to keep costs low. In terms of features it has all the usual CMS functionality such as page metadata, indexed search, dynamic news/rss generation, membership and a whole lot more.
The beta version and documentation can be found at www.mediacourtyard.com.

.NET CMS Ideas
This product looks interesting. I missed it last time I did this analysis. Is it hosted? Do we get the source code?

I will definitely update my blog post to include it and consider it for my next .NET CMS customer

RE: .NET CMS Ideas
Hi Christian,
With this CMS you can use cheap .NET shared hosting, the installation is simply a copy/paste task with a SQL connection string change.
As for source code, the standard modules are provided as ASP.NET User Controls that can be edited. When its finally launched we will offer a developer version which will include all the source code.
If you need any further information you can contact me at dan@vectorlight.net.
