At the institution that I'm at, we've been looking for web applications that enable users to create and deploy their own forms. Similar applications are Wufoo, and google forms. Unfortunately, those solutions will not work for us, because we are required to host all data and information on our own servers. I've found a few solutions that are written in PHP, but at this point, it doesn't appear that this is acceptable.

I've tried searching for ".net form creator" but unfortunately, when you search for ".net forms" you get a lot of results relating to created asp.net webforms, which is not what we're looking for at all. I've been told that finding a solution that runs on .NET and windows servers with either Oracle or MSSQL databases would be much more acceptable. I've found a few, but they are open source, and the IS Security people are not kind to those solutions, despite my attempts to show otherwise.

If anyone knows of some solution out there, I would greatly appreciate you passing on the names of those applications!

Honestly, take a look at sharepoint. It lets make all sorts of custom lists, forms, and workflows which sounds like what you're looking for.

Unfortunately, we require something with the ability to do more than what sharepoint provides. Thanks for the suggestion, though! – Josh Nov 11 '10 at 19:42
Yes, as @CrazyDart suggested, please let us know what in particular about sharepoint is the limiting factor. Not saying it's a panacea, but as a "generalized" form created, sharepoint should be able to handle many requirements :-) – Joel Martinez Nov 15 '10 at 13:17

Try some of the dynamics products like CRM. You can create all kinds of forms with that. Also you can use InfoPath + Sharepoint. If Sharepoint is not going to work, I think you need to tell us why, because you said GENERALIZED. Use Adobe PDFs and then buy a PDF Form .Net Lib. They are really good. You could just use LiveCycle for forms... its nice... I have worked a good bit with it. Costs a bunch of money. For a strip down go with Alfresco, but thats not .Net.
