    <p>This <em>might</em> be a case for integration with Windows Workflow Foundation, since you're talking about maintaining the state of a long-running workflow (completing the application).</p> <p>If you could compartmentalize the various components of the application process, you could modify the workflow in future years by removing, rerouting, and/or modifying existing portions of the workflow.</p> <p>That said, it sounds like you might have pretty tight time constraints. It might be worth a couple of hours' investigation into WF, but consider carefully whether introducing something new might jeopardize your deadline.</p> <p>As for the XML, XSD, XSL route, I think it depends on your team's experience. Personally, I shy away from that and would store the data in one or more "pending applications" tables in a relational database. From there (of course, you could do this from XML, too), build up proper business objects and models to which my MVC views can bind. Field-level validation is performed with Enterprise Validation or Fluent Validation or the like, and final validation is performed by one or more validator classes that inspect all the constituent parts of the application.</p> <p>To deal with possible changes, keep a clean separation between each of the 30 forms. You should be able to modify a given form next year without messing up others. Remember, you can always subclass or compose a model type if there are new requirements in future years, and you don't <em>have</em> to remove obsolete parts -- your new views just won't expose certain parts of the model. </p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
