title: Working with non-Umbraco data in MVC and Umbraco project?
body: <p>I am working on a project that has MVC 4 and the Umbraco CMS installed. I apologise - being newbie, my question may be weird.</p>
  
  <p>My question is: how do I work with types which I don't want to manage through Umbraco back office?Rather, it will be simple data coming and being stored in SQL Server. </p>
  
  <p>Specifically I want to ask:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Can I create a controller in MVC and bypass Umbraco?</li>
  <li>What controllers should be inherited from? Should they be standard MVC Controller, <code>SurfaceController</code> or <code>RenderMvcController</code>? Again, it will not be an Umbraco document type or data.</li>
  <li>Will views be inherited from <code>UmbracoViewPage</code>, <code>UmbracoTemplatePage</code> or it can be a standard MVC view?</li>
  <li>How will the URL of these views, controllers and actions change? In Umbraco, the URL depends on the content tree, but how it will be with non Umbraco controllers, views and actions?</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Thank you so much for your precious time, guidance, sharing and help; I highly appreciate it.</p>
