I'm a Windows programmer and need to throw together quickly several web pages. The forms have many, many controls (at least 100 checkboxes and at least 70 textboxes)and will change every month. I don't want to create a different table in SQL Server every month to accomodate the responses for these forms. My approach was to build the table vertically, instead of 170+ fields across; with this approach, a different table would not need to be created every month.
Is it possible to efficiently UPDATE the database as well as populate the controls in ASP, where all the controls would be for the same 'result' field, instead of each control bound to a different field in a table? I would probably need to collect the data sequentially from the web page, but I'm not too familiar with web apps to know if this is feasible. Or is there a better design for this to work efficiently over the web?
Any comments would be greatly appreciated!!!!!
