I used to customize the list item forms (new/edit/display) in the farm solution which is quite straight forward. Now, I am working on a project which only allows sandboxed solutions to customize the list item forms. Obviously, I am no longer able to deploy the dll to the GAC or bin. I think of two solutions, one is to create a visual webpart which requires quite a bit of heavy lifting work. The other solution would be using InfoPath form which require less coding and has the flexibility of adding repeated sections. I kind of prefer the InfoPath form approach. But I am not sure whether there will be some kind of difficulties/limitations during the development.
Did anyone ever customize the list item forms in the sandboxed solutions? Could you share your experience?
Thanks,
Perry
Unfortunately yes, sorry about the pessimism but I was not a big fan of Infopath because I was not really good at it. 🙂 But it should fit the bet for you.
