I am using c# MVC 4 and I would like to create Multiple user controls and fill data dynamically.

Eg: I have a history filling form and in it i have to display multiple question having options control which can be radio button or check box also have a text-area with every question.So I do not know the field names and its control types prior to visiting this page, it gets the data and control types from a sql table with question:

field 1: Text-Label

field 2: DropdownList (values: 1,2,3,4,5) or radio button or check-box or text-box

Hi Honey,

You can use templates to achieve this. You can create display or editor templates under shared folder. Naming of the template can be done based on the control name coming from SQL. So for e.g. u have three control names coming from SQL - TextArea, RadioButton and CheckBox. So when you call Displayfor or Editorfor helper methods it wud try to see files (TextArea.cshtml etc.) under folders Views/Shared/DisplayTemplates or Views/Shared/EditorTemplates respectively respectively. Please let me know if you face any issue while implementing it.
