Chapter 12. Working with Forms

Chapters 10 and 11 showed you a number of ways to show information on a page from various sources, both from within SharePoint and from the outside world. Yet, data display — however sophisticated — is only half of the story. You still need a way to collect information from your users, whether it is data to store, or a set of query parameters for a report. In the digital realm, as in the paper, that way is typically a form. In this chapter, you will learn about working with forms in SharePoint Designer, including:

  • Types of forms supported.

  • Testing non-SharePoint forms with the ASP.NET Development Server.

  • How SharePoint Data Forms relate to Data View Web Parts.
