Kentico MVC Code Generator

A preview of a code generator that generates repository model code for Kentico Online Forms using the System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations attributes. Such model is supposed to be passed into the repository which in turn passes the form data to the class generated by the standard Code tab in the Forms application. The DataAnnotation attributes allow for leveraging of the existing rich ASP.NET MVC 5 validation infrastructure while preserving full control over HTML with standard display templates and/or partial views.

The generator also creates the partial view code using Razor.

The repository accompanies the DevNet article Render Online Forms with ASP.NET MVC Display Templates and The Code Generator—Part 2
