There have been some reports that Dynamic Forms can be very slow in edit mode and becomes cumbersome, especially when creating a large form with a variety of field types. Actually, I have bigs form contain Textboxes, radio button list, dropdowns, file uploads, checkboxes, and grid view. Actually, I am converting my old asp.net web application to Dotnetnuke for CMS purpose. Please suggest following.
1) Is possible to convert asp.net web form application to DotNetNuke.
2) we can use gridview option in DotNetNuke.
3) I have two types of logins user and admin. Admin can add a gallery, add news and see user submitted forms and he/she will shortlist and reject base on performance forms.
Thank you
1) Yes, but a forms module is probably a better choice.
2) I think yes, but you'd have to create that in a custom module. Again, a forms module is a better choice.
3) Yes, you can give varying degrees of administrative control based on user roles.
Besides Dynamic Forms, you might also want to evaluate Action Forms (DNNSharp) and Live Forms (Mandeeps). There are other choices, and I have had success using digForm (DigNuke).

the forms in my app display themself based on metadata.
In design mode the user should be able to change the form (metadata) by dragging all form elements (text, input ...) somewhere in the browsers window. I want to save the new metadata to display the changed form.
I wonder, if there is allready any solution or a tool.
Thanks in advance

Check this link - http://ngmodules.org/ which contains a detailed list of plugins developed for angularjs. I have found many useful plugins here.
I need to create a voting system which will essentially consist of several forms each with a list of radio buttons, of which a single choice can be made. Submission of the form loads the next one, this will go on for about 10 pages, before finally sending the user to a generic data capture form where they will submit their credentials for inclusion in a prize draw.
Several approaches spring to mind:
Create a clone of the core poll module and modify it to achieve the required functionality
Modify the drupal quiz module to allow anonymous recording of votes (the fact that it doesn't is the only thing stopping me approaching it this way, it works almost exactly as I want it to otherwise)
Create something completely custom using the webform module.
I just wondered if anyone had come across this same problem/dilemma and could share any knowledge???
Can you accomplish this with a multi-page webform? You can build the webform by adding a "select options" field, followed by a "page break", then another "select options" field, and another "page break", etc, etc.
You can limit the select options field to 1 answer. Then when you want to gather their information, just add simple text fields at the end.
Total DNN noob. I can code some WebForms and MVC, but having no luck finding anything concrete out there about doing what I want in DNN
How would I go about setting up a client portal in DNN? I want to have separate areas for the client, including a main dashboard that aggregates content for the client from the other areas. The other areas would include a matter area (with matter information - some auto generated for client, other information to be input by client), a documents area, an events area, a tasks area, a communications area (for chat, or forum style questions) and a profile area for the client (contact info, invoicing, etc.).
What I'd like is for a client to login and see only their items. An admin would log in and get the same "screens" or "areas", but with aggregated content for ALL users.
I know that's a lot, but I would imagine setting me up with a way to do the overall app and then how to create the areas to navigate to would get me going. I know there are modules for each of those things out there, but a) I wouldn't know how to integrate this into one client app and b) some are cost prohibitive.
Most of what I find focuses on setting up one module. Do I go that route and set up user controls within for the different areas? Or do I create separate little modules and tie them together? This is primarily where I am stuck. I can create something like this with standalone web forms or MVC. Hooking into DNN is where I get stuck.
I appreciate any guidance / samples.
There are a LOT of questions here and many ways that you can go about doing this. You could use third-party modules to handle this but you will need to figure out exactly which ones give you the functionality that you want.
If you are looking to do things custom, this is where it gets a lot easier. DNN for users can manage user identity and roles. Based on what you are saying it seems like you would have some custom modules that store all information based on UserId. By default you only display the information for the current user. However, if the user is in a specific role, say for example "Administrators" you would display all content.
This is pretty easy as with any DNN control that inherits from PortalModuleBase you have the UserId available to you as a property. Then you can use UserInfo.IsInRole("Administrators") to check for admins.
I am writing a simple salesforce app that requires app-level and user-level configuration. I have created custom objects for these settings, but cannot figure out how to add links to the Setup page (Personal Setup and Customize) so that the settings can be managed.
Quite a lot of research, and a question on a salesforce board, have left me none the wiser. I have seen a couple of scripts on the web that hack the setup sidebar with javascript (eg http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/95361) ... but this can't be the right way to do it surely?
Thanks

You are unable to do this without hacking because Salesforce want it so that you don't require over-explicit setup of any app you create - they want you to make it data-independent and in fact it may fail a security review if it is data dependent. It will also likely cause you headaches in correctly unit testing the app.
My suggestion would be to have a set of custom pages which are linked to on the home page for a user which display if they have no current values (so the first thing they see on the home page when they login for the first time is a "Hey, before you use this app you need to do some configuration through this handy wizard" and then block access to other areas of the app (i.e. display warning messages on other pages) if the app has not had this data setup.
That way you are not hacking and are providing a nice user experience around the extra setup.

DO you just want to add a new TAB on the top menu that links to the Edit page for your new sObject?
If so:
Goto setup https://cs3.salesforce.com/ui/setup/Setup
Click on 'Create' > 'Tab'
Pick the sObject you want the tab edit, the click next until you save the new tab.
There is no supported way to augment the Setup menu.
You should probably be using Custom Settings for what you are describing - they were designed for app-level and user-level configuration, and are available from Setup.
Otherwise, if it really is custom setup that requires fancier logic / UI / etc, you may want to do what many SFDC ISV's do and ship your app with its own configuration tab that's hidden, and/or custom VF page that manages app settings.
I haven't been able to find an example of using multiple forms on one
page (or one Handler) for tipfy. I'm trying to allow users to both
answer (form 1) and comment on an item (form 2) from the same
page.
One approach to doing this in PHP is submitting a hidden form and checking for it before processing. However, I'm not sure what to check for in tipfy.
What's the best way to accomplish multiple forms in tipfy?
