Asp.Net MVC 3 implementation

[aneal k.c.]

With a lot of work i found this Plugin. It is what i was searching for long time. I want to implement it in ASP.NET MVC . Have anyone before implemented this plugin with ASP.NET MVC ?

Thanks for your interest to the plugin.

No, to my knowledge. You can be the first one. :)

I'm developing an implementation of it right now on ASP.Net MVC 4, but it should be backwards compatible.  I have the Jquery Form Builder working int the page, and I am currently working on the jQuery to pull out the values of all of the fields and post them to the back-end to put them in the database.  I'll let you know how it goes.

Actually, i am working for a college project where I have a part in a application where the admin can create a form using some online form builder. Then the admin can save the form which will create the table in the DB corresponding to the fields created. After that, the other users can use the form. A simple form with text box and labels will do.This plugin has many other features which i really don't need for now. Does this plugin got what i need? I am stuck on this. I would appreciate if you can share the ideas and code.

Hi there,

Thanks for your interest to the plugin.

Yes, you are at the right price. The plugin was fit your need.

But you need to implement the server-side such as form saving, create the table in the DB corresponding to the fields created and displaying the saved form (definition). I implemented these features for Grails Framework with another plugin at http://code.google.com/p/grails-form-builder-plugin/

Hope this help.

Hi Geoffrey,
How did you go with your MVC implementation? I am trying to achieve the same thing. I have also got the builder inserted into my mvc application. I can post the form data back to a controller and store the data in the database. What im struggling with now is when i retrieve the data from the database how do i reconstruct the form in the builder for the user to modify it? If you have overcome that problem it would be great to hear from you!
