I'm hoping for some high-level design input ideas.   Btw, I've used DNN before in some projects - it's a great framework!

This application has multiple 'wizards' required.   Basically each wizard - there are several - walk the user through a set of questions, information requests, and information displays.   However, these wizard pagelets are non-trivial - they all have multiple content elements - text and images.   Further, some have form type input, some have 'select' an image (with some fun javascript animation), some will need to be pre-populated based on past input.   There is also a need for business logic managing the transitions from a page to the next page (like which page to go to...)

I see that there is a wizard framework* - though this requires each wizard pagelet to be in it's own panel in one aspx page.   Each of my wizards will have, say 30-40 good sized wizard pagelets - that's going to be one unwieldy file to build and maintain.  (And not leveraging the great content management abilities of DNN either!)

Can you think of ways to implement this?   Especially ones that will (a) leverage the built-in content management; and (b) minimize code to write (writing a module is fine, writing a simple module is even finer...)

Thanks!

There is a wizard framework in DotNetNuke, but it hasn't been updated for a long time and limited features.

The install wizard used ASP.Net 2.0 Wizard framework, I suggest to install source version of DNN and check out, how it is implemented.
