Orchard 2 – Microsoft open source CMS using asp.net core

Here we assume that %Orchard% is Orchard Source code workspace folder

Orchard 2 uses autofac as DI library as well as NHibernate.

%Orchard%\src\Orchard.Web\Global.asax.cs is entry of whole website.

%Orchard%\src\Orchard.Web\Modules\Orchard.Setup\Views\Setup\Index.cshtml
%Orchard%\src\Orchard.Web\Modules\Orchard.Setup\Controllers\SetupController.cs

after filling at required field, ‘finish setup’ is clicked.
it would invoke following code

[HttpPost, ActionName("Index")]
public ActionResult IndexPOST(SetupViewModel model)
{
   ...
}
