    Hi,

    Pls check my article's
    Building a Device Specific Reverse Auction System
    http://www.asptoday.com/Content.aspx?id=1258
    http://www.asptoday.com/Content.aspx?id=1303

    It has all that u r expecting to do with... I have showcased a way to use single aspx page that render content for multiple devices and had also shown a way to use Object List control as effective as a datagrid.

    Thanks,

         My company is looking into expanding a standard ASP.NET web
         application to work on a PDA. I've been snooping around trying to find
         out how big an effort this is going to be. At the moment my biggest
         concerns are that
         
         1. The current pages are obviously too large to fit conveniently on a
         PDA, so we're going to have to split the interface up into smaller
         pages and have two versions of the software, significantly increasing
         the changes and maintenance. How, if at all, have people been getting
         around this?
         
         2. It seems that ASP.NET mobile doesn't have support for certain
         controls such as the DataGrid. What other controls does it not
         support?
         
         3. The JavaScript support for ASP.NET mobile seems questionable. How
         does it compare to regular ASP.NET?
         
         Thanks,
         Dave
