Overview
The Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC Form component is a container for all the input elements a user is required to fill when sending data from your web page. The Form is more than the sum of it parts as it adds more features than simply being a container for all input elements the user is required to fill. Features like easy configuration of the fields in the form, complete customization of how the form is laid out and with support to validate elements on their own or all-together.
-
Data Binding
The Form component can be bound to data, so it directly updates the model. If you provide your model, you are free to omit the explicit list of fields – the control will automatically generate a field for every property in your model which will match the property’s type! Or, you can do both and use the field configuration to override some of the auto-generated input elements.
-
Field Configuration
To make building custom forms as easy as possible, specifying the items that your form is comprised of is made simple. All you need to do is provide the information for each field that should be rendered. Is this a number, password or a date? Should it be validated? What’s the label that needs to be printed next to the input?
-
Orientation and Layout
The Form can be laid out both horizontally and vertically to give you greater flexibility when deciding the most appropriate place to put it in your web page. Should it have different columns? Or would you rather have it decide on its own what’s the best presentation?
-
Groups
The Form component has a built-in grouping functionality allowing you to create more intuitive forms by dividing fields into logically grouped sections, such as Personal Information, Shipping Address, Payment Details etc.
-
Built-in TextBox and TextArea
The Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC Form control comes with built-in TextBox and TextArea fields. These items come in handy when you need to collect short or long strings of text from your users. The TextBox can be used for names, emails, usernames, etc., while the TextArea is more suitable for feedback and comments.
See them in action in this demo -
Hidden Fields
The ASP.NET MVC Form component comes with out-of-the-box support for hidden fields. This feature can be useful when users submit a registration form, and you might need to create a unique ID for each user. The ID field can remain hidden as not to confuse application users.

Templates
By default, forms will display two buttons – “Clear” and “Submit” which will do exactly what the label says. You can override the default to display as many buttons as you need and have them say anything. For example, you might want to have “Agree & Continue” in a form displaying the application’s license agreement.
-
Validation
The form can be fully validated. You are free to provide your own callbacks to validate the entire form and any of the fields in it separately. The validation itself can be further configured with things like when to run (e.g. when the element loses focus?) and how should the error message look.
-
Accessibility
The Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC Form complies with Section 508 and WCAG 2.1 guidelines to ensure your application is accessible to all users.
