I have a Page Type which contains a Form control which was built on Kentico 10.
I need to replicate it on Xperience Asp.Net Core.
Is it possible to create form controls in this environment.
If not, How I can reproduce a Page type with a field who used a form control in the previous version.
Thanks
Have you tried this documentation here: https://docs.xperience.io/custom-development/extending-the-administration-interface/developing-form-controls ?

I'm using Kentico 13 .NET Core and trying to build a custom form control. However, as mentioned in following article, I cannot see the 'Form Controls' tab to register my custom control. What am I missing?
https://docs.xperience.io/custom-development/extending-the-administration-interface/developing-form-controls/example-developing-custom-form-controls
Form controls are under Development > Administration Interface. You can add and update them from there.
In Kentico Xperience13, when I go in the Page Template application they said we need to use the Page Application to create a page and save it as a Page Template. But when I create a Page I don't see the place where I can save as a Page Template. So when I came back in the Page Template application the list is always empty.
To use Page Templates in Kentico Xperience 13, you either need to create default templates through code - see Developing page templates, or you can save widgets that have been added to a page as a custom page template - see Saving pages as custom page templates
As someone currently working on a site in Xperience 13, you may want to consider taking a class or two on Pluralsight to give you the basics of MVC and .net core. I am new to those but have been using Kentico for over 10 years. This change to MVC has been a bear to learn. But the Pluralsight courses have helped me get a better understanding of the structure.
Kentico does use content based routing as an option (and I think it is default in 13) you can learn more about it here https://docs.xperience.io/developing-websites/implementing-routing#Implementingrouting-Contenttree-basedrouting
when you build page types you don't have to worry about the model and the controller portion, kentico handles it, you just need to build the view.
this tutorial covers the basics https://docs.xperience.io/13tutorial/asp-net-core-development-tutorial
I've built a component for a new template in AEM 6.1 and I need it to only appear when authoring on that specific template (adding new components to that page and such). Main reason is there's a lot components in the sidekick and we want to clean it up; plus this component will only ever be usable on this template (because of authentication reasons). I'm told I need to achieve this via the allowedParent jcr attribute in the components .content.xml files.
Unfortunately upgrading from 6.1 isn't a possibility due to business reasons. Any help is greatly appreciated.
You just have to make this component available via your design which is usually located at /etc/designs/[yourdesign]. There you will find a jcr:content node and all page templates below it. Just find there the right parsys and add this component.

Is there an easy way to use an MVC controller in Kentico; and, return a specific page that has been developed in Kentico, as opposed to referencing something like ~/Views/ControllerName/SomeView.cshtml?
I'm trying to use the MVC controller to provide some needed routing functionality, and already had a working page prior to using the controller. I would like the display to be pulled from the working page I had before using the controller.
I'm using Kentico 7.
Especially in Kentico 7, MVC support was more or less "you can use it, but it won't be usable with portal functionality."
You can have MVC pages, and have Portal pages, but there really isn't a way to pull in a portal style page into it. You're best bet is to try to either use some custom logic to render the elements you need and pull in that content dynamically into the page.
I could be wrong, my MVC isn't as strong as my kentico.
Trevor is right - there is an ASP.NET MVC support in Kentico v7 you can use but there is nothing like MVC Portal Engine or something like that. There are two possible ways how to achieve your scenario:
You can use Kentico as a 'model' and read (manipulate) data via API in your controller and view (typically in Razor). Then you need to:
a) register route to your controller in CMS Desk > Node > Properties > URls and choose proper Path type (route or MVC) - this is prefered way
b) create MVC page template in Site manager > Page templates
You can find example on Corporate Site (part of default installation) in CMS Desk > Corporate Site > Examples > Development Models > MVC
You can learn more in Kentico CMS 7 documentation (MVC development overview section).
Please note there is whole new MVC approach in latest version (Kentico 9).
Portal engine is based on web forms and components such as web parts, page templates or widgets are not supported by MVC itself so you wont be able to display your page using MVC.
Kentico 10 will contain many new features regarding MVC, but mixing portal engine with it will not be the case.
I have a single Windows Phone page, let say Details.xaml.
I want to use it as a single view page as well as to reuse that page in different panorama pages.
How can I add that page as an PanoramaItem?
Can you provide some go resource about good practice in implementing Panorama page in Windows Phone 8?
Thank you
You can build a UserControl containing the Visual structure that you wish to present, you can check the microsoft guidelines on Panorama pages.
