Forms - Automatic Form Generation for ASP.NET
Continuing on my theme of Things I Miss From Zope, I've started work on a Forms library for ASP.NET. There are a couple of forms libraries for zope (primarily zope.formlib and z3c.form) which make it extremely easy to automatically generate forms.
I'm starting off by working on form generation based on a .NET interface definition.
Of course, this won't look too much like the aforementioned Zope libraries: ASP.NET has a substantially different architecture, and of course a huge library of controls already available. One of the design goals for the project is to allow these controls to be used seamlessly within the forms framework. Adaptation should provide the underlying framework for this.
I'm at the early prototype stage at the moment, but of course as soon as I have something worth looking at, I'll release an alpha - that'll appear in the Software section, and for those using an RSS feed of this blog, I'll announce here too.
Right, back to the practice for the British Grand Prix!
