POWhat web control library to use for easy form creation with many different types of input fields?

Body
copied!<p>I'm about to create a web application that requires a lot of different web forms where the user needs to be able to input a lot of different types of information. What I mean is that one of those forms may require some text input fields, some integer input fields, some decimal input fields, some date input fields, some datetime input fields, etc.</p> <p>I would like to have a, maybe JavaScript-based, control library that I can simple provide with some text labels, input types and default values. The control library would then somehow render the form in HTML without me having to create an HTML table, select the appropriate standard web controls and all that.</p> <p>I have used <a href="http://www.dhtmlx.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">dhtmlxGrid</a> to create quite a lot of tables and that works well for me. What I need now is something that can help me in a similar way when creating something like card forms.</p> <p>I have also found <a href="http://www.activewidgets.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ActiveWidgets</a>, but it looks like it will require a lot of work on my behalf. I'm not only looking for individual web controls, but rather something like a library that can help me with the overall card.</p> <p>I'm guessing many of you have had this problem before. Looking forward to hearing what solutions you have found to be the best. BTW: I'm working in VisualStudio with ASP.NET.</p>
