dear all,

i want to build an asp.net webpage. it will be used as a form to collect some information from user and submit it to be saved on database.

content of the page controls and labels should be created dynamically.

Questions of the form will be read from database. Answers are either free text or multi-choice. Type of the answer will specify the type of the control used to get the answer (textboxes , radioButtons).

should i create asp.net controls on page_load or should i create HTML controls using JQUERY on $(document).ready.. ?

choosing between asp.net and JQuery will affect next steps, such as validation, collecting controls values and submitting.

any suggestions please? comparison would be appreciated.

thanks in advance

First question: why do you want to create them dynamically?
nina4ever 21-Nov-14 14:06pm    
controls have to be dynamic because QUESTIONS ARE DYNAMIC. they are not the same for all users. Questions will be read from database along with their type (multiple choice , free text...etc) when the page is being loaded, and then i have to create my controls based on questions and their answers (free text queststion needs a textbox, multiple choice question needs radioButtons)

Jquery is best way to handle dynamic content addition and deletion from . at the same time ASP.NET control needs a lots of work like manage newly added control using views state and each and every time need to call code behind function . So Fast and efficient way is you go through jquery.

1- do u know of any example on the internet?
2- is collecting data from controls when submitting the (form) easy?

the problem is that i haven't built anything similar before, so i need opinions of experts before starting.
thank u for ur opinion

thank you. i have already tried these in previous projects. i have created some controls using JQUERY based on user actions.
the difference here in the new project is that i don't previously know what controls will be created, and all controls are dynamic. Do u think JQUERY is easier and more effecient than ASP.NET for collecting values and submitting the form?

questions, choices and labels that will be displayed on the form have to be read from database. is it efficient to use $ajax inside $(document).ready to retrieve all that information, and then build controls on success based on returned data?
