OO design for forms

[kneejerkreaction]

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?

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.
