I currently have a db structure that looks something like what i have below and i was wondering what the best way would be to go about building dynamic forms based on the DB for the Question & Answer input portion.
Also what is the safest way to do this?

    Scott Mitchell put together a great 4 part tutorial titled “Creating a Dynamic Data-Driven User Interface” that dynamically builds user interfaces based on a data model. You’re probably looking at a lot of work and testing but it can be done.

    You should also check out the 4 part video series, “Building a Quiz Engine“, at http://www.asp.net and see if it helps. The more you can see of ways of this being done, the better.
