In my application, I have a situation wherein the users will need to have the flexibility to customize the UI to a certain extent. The following are some of the customizations that is being discussed now…

  1. Change Label text associated with the with Use Input controls
  2. Mark a control as Mandatory/Read only/Hidden
  3. Assign a regular expression for the text box

Are there any recommended design patterns for my situation? Seems like I need to store all these in a database and worried about the performance impact if I have to read every element from the database for every page.

Thanks,
Harsha

    I would look at some of the open-source CMS or portal systems written in ASP.NET and see how they are doing UI customization (if they are).

    Phil Haack has some insight at the following article:

    Apparently it’s not an easy thing to do in ASP.NET. It’s easier to do in ASP.NET MVC, because the markup is cleaner and you can control it with jQuery.
