AJAX Form Editing and Design

I want to create in an ASP.NET mt application the ability for users to fill out forms, but forms are not something I can hard-code in my (Enterprise) software.

Therefore I need one screen that allows end users to create forms. Having done this 2.0, I just love what PollDaddy did in their poll editor (great guys!). How to do it? (don't worry pollDaddy, my app has nothing to do with polling and I'm not on your domain at all (- :)

Since you need to go to the site to play with it, I made a 20 second video of what it looks like. Please see below for the best way to reproduce this (as easy as using the jQuery tip? Use the entire open source project? Buy something?)

Requirements:

  • Supports multiple item types (e.g. multiple choice, free text, comboBox).
  • dragging
  • editing order

The AJAX management toolkit is free and will work for some of these elements shown in the video. However, jQuery has many plugins that are easy to extend and even easier to use. I would suggest starting there and expanding where needed.

You can build it yourself using AJAX framework like ASP.NET AJAX or even telerik controls. You can use jQuery, but ASP.NET AJAX is free and fits well with ASP.NET pages. You might have bought something, but I haven't come across packages as such yet.
