Poll Generator

Poll Generator is an ASP.NET custom control, developed in C#. Developers can place this control on an aspx page to create questions and corresponding answers, in order to elicit responses from website visitors.

This ASP.NET 2.0 developer’s control allows you to easily create on-line polls visually, while tracking the results as users vote. In a matter of minutes, a poll can be created and published on your website.

How does it Work

It is very simple to develop a poll for your website. To utilize this component, all a developer has to do is drag and drop it from the toolbox and place it on an aspx page. Using the component’s smart tag, the developer can choose an existing poll to view or create a new one by defining the question and all the possible answers. Once the poll is created (or chosen from an existing one), the developer decides the storage location of the results.

 

 This version supports storing results to an XML file or to a SQL Server database. If you choose, an existing SQL Server database, the correct tables will be created during the design process. The only thing left to do is to define the visual appearance of the poll and then publish the website.

When user vote and answer you poll, they will be able to graphically see the results in the same container as the questions were presented.
