How to create forms in Microsoft Sharepoint?

Question

Hi I want to create form on my site, which is run using Micrsoft Sharepoint.

Answer 1

Hi,

there are multiple ways to create/use forms in SharePoint. You can do this by

• implementing a web part
• designing/implementing an aspx page
• using InfoPath

To decide which option is the right one for you depends on the problem you want so solve or the goal you want do archive. Perhaps some more details would be helpful.

Answer 2

That's a very broad question. As Flo writes, there are many ways to do this, and there is no one best choice. In addition to the three ways he lists, I'll add one more:

• Use the Survey list type to allow users to create simple forms without customization and development. It's meant for surveys, but combined with a mail alert it works well for simple forms.

Of course any custom list can be used in this way.

Answer 3

Hi there, I have around 1 years experience with asp.net 2.0, but now faced with SharePoint (MOSS) 2007.

I can easily create forms in VS2005, with validation controls, wizard controls, etc.

But how do I begin to create one in SharePoint, that will populate a list? I want the look and feel of a standard asp.net form, but presented within SP. I do not want to use InfoPath, but just VS2005?

I would be very graeful if anyone can point me in the right direction. So in terms of the comments posted on this page, how do I perform 'implementing an aspx page'?

Thank you in advance, Ash
