EPiServer CMS Page Type Builder

Looking for support for EPiServer CMS 5? Use version 1.1.

Project Description

Page Type Builder allows developers to define EPiServer page types in code which eliminates the need to synchronize page types between different servers. As page types are declared in code it also enables inheritance between page types and strongly typed property access.

Requirements

To be able to use Page Type Builder you need to use EPiServer CMS 5 version R2 SP2 or later which can be downloaded from EPiServer World.
