PS I downloaded this console application but it only worked the first time so its of no use. IT failed all other times and gave this error.

using Umbraco.Core.Models;
using Umbraco.Core.Services;
Then you will of course need to make some references to the Umbraco .dll files from the /bin/ folder in your Umbraco installation as well.
After the new API's have launched I'm not sure, which ones to refer though but usually interfaces.dll, umbraco.dll and cms.dll will be used. Potentially others as well though.
Then in your application you will probably need to define a connectionstring to the umbraco database as well in your web.config file.

Hi Tom
Have you checked out the Managet API's here? http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Management-v6/ There is a lot of information about the API's.
Hope this helps a bit.

Yes I have that but its not clear to me how to connect to Umbraco.
Hi Tom
Aaah...Well I think that if you have a look at for instance http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Management-v6/Models/Content then it show what should be referenced in the using statements like
using Umbraco.Core.Models; using Umbraco.Core.Services;
Then you will of course need to make some references to the Umbraco .dll files from the /bin/ folder in your Umbraco installation as well.
After the new API's have launched I'm not sure, which ones to refer though but usually interfaces.dll, umbraco.dll and cms.dll will be used. Potentially others as well though.
Then in your application you will probably need to define a connectionstring to the umbraco database as well in your web.config file.
Hope this makes sense.
