Configure Form Layout

Forms incorporating the K2 data provider allows business users to model capture and list views using the SmartObject properties and methods. Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 allows a developer to build and deploy a form with full access to data, actions and events of processes, line of business systems, and K2 designed SmartObjects.

Forms can be created in Visual Studio in a number of ways with various layouts depending on the business requirement. For ease of reference the various layout options for a Microsoft ASP.NET web site project will be discussed below.
