Do You Hate Building Forms? by Beaf(op): 6:55pm On Mar 09, 2010
This is a fun, but serious post.

Most Web Developers I know have a passionate hatred for building huge forms (usually the multi-page type). Others just plain hate the thought of having to write repetitive code, personally I need Panadol after creating form fields. Where do you fall? What can be done to alleviate this misery?

What are you using notepad for? wink

Well I believe form building problems are the reasons we have things like WPF, XAML and if you don't mind C++ MFC.

@Beaf,
I definitely go wit u. I am so not a fan of form design even though i come out wit nice stuff when i try. I know how many times i've tried Silverlight, MVC, and regular ASP.NET stuff, but yet, i seriously wish that part cud be removed 4rm the software cycle.
I'm waitin 4 u guyz ideas though. Maybe some alternative,

For now I don't think there's a widely used solution to the problem better than MVC so you may have to get used to the drudgery grin
