Formsy

by AnthonyDang 2. July 2010 03:19

"Formsy is an XML driven forms engine built with ASP.Net 3.5. Formsy is super easy to use, is completely extensible and generates clean markup for easy styling."

Formsy came about after my experiences with Umbraco Contour. I had to do some crazy code to get Contour to do things it was really not meant for. Getting Contour to regionalize form labels, validation messages, and validation regular expressions was the least crazy thing we needed to do. We made Contour do things that it was never ever meant to do.  

After the Contour experience I realized that I needed some practice with composite controls. So I sat at home and started to make a little forms engine. 

This project encompasses almost everything I have learned about .Net since I started at The Farm in 2007. On this my last day at Farm, I'm pleased to launch and share this open source project of mine to The Farm and to the open source community.
