Layout out Data

[Jay1b]

Hi

 

I have a form which will have a LOT of fields on it. To make the screen manageable I was going to break these fields down into 6 views using a multiview control.

 

I thought there would of been some way to automatically create these fields as textboxes, so i just needed to lay them out. The closest thing i can find is a detailsview, but this doesnt create them as textboxes. The reason why i wanted them as textboxes is because some of the data is stored as memo, and I was going to arrange these as being 4-5 lines deep.

 

Also I cant seem to find the 'easy' way to populate the textboxes with the data. I can do this in code easily enough, but surely there must be a better way?

 

Thanks

The FormView control might be useful as it is a fully templated control - this way you can have a much finer degree of control over the resulting HTML generated.
