(C#/SQL/Approach-question)
This has to be one of the hardest nuts I've ever had to crack. So I sincerely hope one of you smart people out there have tried to solve this before! :)
I have a much of catagories (A,B,C) with pictures.
For each picture I need to ascribe some information, based on some controls that have either no- or predefined options. For instance in catagory A I have a textbox where you can enter anything you want, and a dropdownbox where you can choose between 3 options.
Now, for each catagory I would like to be able to design (decide) which controls (text, select, checkbox, radio, etc.) I want to ascribe to a catagory, and I want also to be able to decide what values apply to that control. Let's say I have a select-control, and I want to be able to decide if multiple select are allowed, and which values are available.
So the end product would be:
- I can administrate what catagories have which controls in them, and which options are available (i.e. single or multiple select) as well as which values are ascribed or allowed.
- I need to be able to store this information in a persistable fashion.
- I need to be able to "easily" parse the return-data from the page where the controls are rendered.
I realize this is a complicated question, and I will be happy to answer any questions you might have to help clarify the problem.
Thank you in advance!
