Hello cmsdev, Before I answer the two questions at the bottom of your post, I am curious why you prefer to have a relative source path to your images? Just trying to understand what the value of doing this would be. Sitefinity uses something called a virtual path provider, which is a fancy way of saying if I go to the URL that starts with /images/ I can pull images from an alternate source. In the case of Sitefinity, it will store images in the database by default. To answer your questions... 1. How do I reference the Telerik.* dlls in my project. I did not find nugets for them. Do I need to install/use the Sitefinity Project Manager to create my projects? A: I would take a look at Sitefinity's public NuGet repository. You can add this nuget feed to visual studio and you should be able to find the Telerik assemblies you need. 2. Once I create and compile my dll, how do I deploy it to my server? The server is hosted elsewhere and I do not have access to the machine to "publish" a build. However, I notice in the administrator interface, there is a file manager. Can I use the file manager to upload to the /bin folder? A: You can do this, but I typically would not recommend it. BUT, if you are going to do this I would do the following... Deploying Assemblies using Sitefinity File Manager Download and backup any assemblies you intend to overwrite Upload the new Assemblies Edit the web.config (add a space to the end of the file and this will cause the website to restart and load the updated DLLs into memory) Hope this helps.
