Is there a RAD-way to create nice looking forms with ASP.Net webforms? I'm using .NET Framework 3.5 and Visual Studio 2010. Thanks!

Is there someway of having something like the DataGrid autoformat.

Get a graphic designer/artist.

If you get a good one, he/she will make your developer life so much easier and more enjoyable :)

I think your answer is pointless and isn't useful to anyone at all.

Only because it's not the answer you were looking for. We aren't here to do your work for you.

Design is for designers to handle. On a side-note; perhaps you should look into a CSS framework... http://www.rmsjr.com/RMSforms/RMSforms-v0.5.html for example.

Sencha's Ext JS (http://www.sencha.com/products/js/) is an excellent framework on the client side for rich forms (and other UI elements)

If you want WYSIWYG visual design inside of VS2010, you'll need a third-party tool like Coolite (http://www.coolite.com/).

But if you can deal with a bit more abstraction and don't need everything designed literally in your IDE, I would recommend Sencha's Designer app (http://www.sencha.com/products/designer/), which is web-based. Or, hand-code the JavaScript, Sencha's syntax is well-documented.
