Forms - Automatic fields generation from xml

[leflaco]

Hi,
I'm currently working with Coolite developing a foundation for User Interface to generate automated User Interface from metadata in a xml file. I would like to know if you could consider in future versions the feature of generate fields from any kind of source such as xml, database, etc.

Thank you very much,

Rodrigo from Argentina.

Hi Rodrigo,

Building a Page of ASP.NET Web Controls based on an XML file, Database query or list of strings is certainly possible. You just need to instantiate the controls based on their string class name.


You might want to investigate the MS Dynamic Data project, as I think they're doing something somewhat similar, ie... generating server controls based on Database reflection.*


Best of luck with your project. Sounds very interesting. Keep us updated and let us know if you require any further assistence.*
