I was wondering the best way to do the following scenario is.
I have a form - Which includes XML Data inputted into a dropdown box - >
From the user selection it goes into a new form, once the user selects what
they want, it goes onto a checkout style page - Before sending the results into
an email to a certain person.
Now as we are migrating from a ASP.NET webpage - I have all the code from
the following form. However I'm undecided on how to do this - Do I use
usercontrols (Insert the ascx files and DLL into the umbraco project) Or do I
use Contour to build the forms (But how to you link in XML Data/Proceed with
the data?)
I can't use MVC (Partial Views) due to my boss stating that he doesn't want
to use MVC.
It acts a bit like a shop (Place order, review order, checkout, submit order). Im just wondering If it is best for me to use Contour or to hard code it all in the Usercontrol section?
Contour Or UserControls?

Hey James,
For xml data you'll need to write a custom prevale source type for an example take a look here http://www.nibble.be/?p=217
Once you have that you can bind a dropdown to the xml data source...
But not sure I understand the rest is this a single form or multiple forms?
Hi Tim,

Thank you :)

Well in that case I would recommend to use something custom :) or look at one of the ecommerce packages out there :)
Thank you Tim,
Do you recommand any ecommerce packages out there?
Hi James,
There are different packages for eCommerce.
uCommerce
http://our.umbraco.org/projects/website-utilities/ucommerce
Tea Commerce
http://our.umbraco.org/projects/website-utilities/tea-commerce
This are two packages that I have heard of when you have to build a site with eCommerce stuff.
Hope this helps. And I'm sure that the teams behind these packages will answer if you have any questions about them.
