Hi!
I've a large form containing 600 fields (mix of textbox, checkbox,
radiobuttons) i've broken the form in 10 parts (more or less with same
number of fields) using web control, so if you press a button a
particular part (1 of 10) will be loaded.

My problem is how to save these part-forms into xml and retrieve when
user come back to that part of form, he can also edit it.

Could anyone guide me to the right direction, with article, tutorial or
hint.
Thanks
 
What about putting them in the document as .ascx files, and only making
them visible with the asp.net .Visible property when the user gets to a
certain sub or something.

i'd use a database (session with a database) and store the xml file there
under a guid. store the guid in a hidden file.

Yes, this is what i'm doing, i've broken it into 10 user web controls
(ascx), then loading it into web page on click of button on aspx page.

The problem is what is the optimal solution to store these fields into
xml.

Could i generate xml file on fly and save corresponding fields.

Creating xml file with 600 fields and databinding each control with
xml file seems messy work and slight change will collapse all code.
Also it seems too much of a work...
 
What about using a class to hold the data?
I use Business Object classes for this all the time.
The BO could always have a method to output any XML from the data it
contains.
