Good day,
I'm new here and recently acquired form builder and RSD.
I currently make use of prebuilt templates like pixelarity and adapt them to use with asp.net web with database application projects.
I am planning to use RSD to build such templates and/or create complete site with RSD and then import into asp.net to add the logic, database features, etc.
Similar to this I build cross platform mobile apps using html5 pages with javascript functions and remote serverside php scripts.
Again I would like to use CC form builder to create the forms and basic mobile first page layouts to simplify and save time.
Would appreciate some guidelines to quickstart what I have in mind.
Or will I be the first?

Hi Zack,

We are using RSD for templates and afterwards add asp.net placeholders (referrals to asp.net scripts) where we need to insert logic and data.

For CC form builder builder: just add the html - generated by form builder - to the RSD template and change the action and point to an asp.net script; something like this:
<form id="docContainer" class="fb-toplabel fb-100-item-column selected-object" style="FONT-SIZE: 16px; WIDTH: 100%; -webkit-box-shadow: none; box-shadow: none" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="/flex/Ideal/KuychiSendForm.aspx?PageID=34063" novalidate="novalidate" data-percentage="100" data-boxshadow="false" data-form="manual_iframe">
We use (and add if necessary) hidden inputs to insert parameters that may be needed to configure the asp.net script.

Don't forget to upload all the scripts and CSS of form builder as well to your web server.

Thanks Hennie,
I do two test projects and post the results.

Hi Hennie and all other interested members,
I have successfully integrated Visual Studio ASP.NET with CC RSD and CC Menu Builder.
It is actually a seamless process although a few steps needs to be followed...
I have created my ASP.NET master pages with the exported RSD and CC Menu builder menus.
I will gladly post detailed steps on request.
Now for integrating the CC Form Builder forms with ASP.NET!
Have a good day

Hi Zack,

Good for you!
I think using RSD combined with ASP.NET master pages or similar is the right approach when using RSD and other Coffeecup tools for larger websites. I don't think RSD is designed to create large websites with many pages, but it can grow into an excellent tool to combine or even integrate with a suitable CMS or custom built database applications.

That is what we are doing with a few pilot projects.

Nice Zack and Hennie!

Any thoughts on how we could make this easier? Allowing you to import list of variables attached to certain placeholders maybe?

Hi Bob,
I don't have a quick answer but to simplify is definitely worth the effort as a pet project.
I have now also successfully integrated CC Web forms with ASP.NET.
Creating forms in ASP.NET is normally a bit of a mission and using CC Web forms makes this a simple process.
Will get back
