Introduction
The Publication Center that comes with Hyper.Net (accessible by clicking on the Publication Center tab that was added to your site after installing Hyper.Net) is a sample application that illustrates how converted and published content can be accessed and presented within SharePoint using SharePoint's WCMS paradigm. Because Hyper.Net publishes converted content as standard SharePoint content—i.e. lists—you can access published content any way you like using your own code and your own Web Parts.

These days, it seems like everyone has a big BUT (ignore unfortunate double meaning). Here's ours: BUT... the Web Parts and components that are used in Hyper.Net's sample application are themselves copies of standard SharePoint Web Parts, modified using standard SharePoint approaches to accomplish the specific requirement. From a political point of view, this means the SharePoint code provided with Hyper.Net is not "third-party technology". If your organization has policies against using third-party technology, this is good news. The provided elements are Microsoft components—modified the way you would modify them yourself.
For this reason—before you jump right in and start creating a lot of custom code—we recommend starting with the provided Web Parts and components and modifying them further to suit your needs.

Feel free to imitate what we've done, borrow the Web Parts provided with the solution and/or modify them to meet your own needs and to experiment. If you don't achieve the results you desire, rest assured that the published content is safe within the SharePoint data store. You only need to work further on your application to achieve the required result, and to do this, you need no more know-how than familiarity with standard SharePoint development tools and techniques.
Clearly it is not possible to predict what types of applications will need to be created. The following sections therefore illustrate how Hyper.Net's sample Web Parts and components interact with published content within SharePoint. This should be sufficient to assist you with the rapid creation of a SharePoint solution that meets your business requirements.
