There are lot of commercial tools for this task out there. But if you look at ASP.Net MVC, creating the front end with normal operations (CRUD) is pretty easy. This is just added info to our expert answers

As HTML can be considered as XML (this is you HTML, so you can make it compliant to XHTML standard), anything of the level lower than XML make absolutely no sense.

To generate HTML with C# you can use, for example System.Xml.XmlTextWriter class or System.Xml.XmlDataDocument class. As HXML schema is available, you can always generate XML based in this schema which will yield valid HTML.

Hi,

An ASP.NET Repeater would be suitable in some cases however using the StringBuilder class to manually biuld up your HTML may also be a good method.

Hope this helps

Laurence,
StringBuilder based solution is of course possible but makes no sense because it is of inadequately low level; any level below XML makes no sense as HTML is XML.

You'll probably be able to rework this into something that fits your requirements:
ASP.NET Query control[^]

My 5 but, I think (and put as an Answer) the easiest alternative is generating (X)HTML as XML, is it not?
