OO design for forms

There does not seem to be any forum for general oo design questions, so I'm
posting it here.
I'm developing a generalized form processing system under .NET and I wonder
if anyone has come up with an OO data model for forms handling, or where one
might go to look for such a thing. I suppose it would be a little like the
Microsoft Access Forms model where you have forms, subforms and controls
within forms.
Basically, this system needs to be able to accept data input via forms (web
pages), it must support the selective ability to update parts of a form based
on a logon userid. It must also support signatures on forms and email
notifications when forms are created and signed. All form data will be
maintained in a database.
I don't want to use Infopath as I want a browser-only client solution.

pretty basic MVC stuff

Have you looked at Maverick (on sourceforge)? How about the User Interface
Process Application Block?

Hope this helps,

take a look at windows sharepoint services (WSS) which can be installed for
free on Windows Server 2003. You get web parts on a page, fully
customizable, with forms that can promote data up to fields. All forms are
stored in a database. Security can be placed at a wide variety of levels.

Very powerful. Give it a try.

If you need something like this, only for win2K, look at rainbow portal.

Thanks for the response.
I am just getting into .NET and those articles were way beyond my
understanding.
Obviously I have a lot to learn before I can even think of beginning to
develop anything with .NET.
I'm just wondering, however, if there is any problem with using .NET
'building blocks' provided by Microsoft. It seems they could assert legal
rights to the software at any time.

I personally cannot stand the Allow Design Changes property set to anything other than design view. Is there a way to loop through all forms and set this property to design view only? There always seem to be a few forms that slip past and I figured this would be a good way to make sure they were all changed. Thanks

Hi, I have moved an application from VS2003 to VS2005, and I am now unable to view most of my forms in the designer. The majority of the forms in my project are derived from class PACForm, (which itself derives from System.Windows.Forms.Form) Whenever I try to open on of these forms in the designer, I get an error, stating it is unable to load one or more of the requested types.
