RE: Web pages for mobile devices

Hi Cj,

As for ASP.NET Mobile Web application development, the information you
found on the following site are most for old ASP.NET 1.x mobile web app dev:

http://www.asp.net/mobile/

I've ever recieved from questions about Mobile web application development
from some other customers. Based on some discussion with the development
team, I think currently, for server-side web application development,
there will not produce any more Mobile specific/dedicated packages(like the
original Mobile internet controls...). This is because these days, more and
more smart device is supporting html/xhtml well and the original WAP only
device is no longer the situation. Also, from ASP.NET 2.0, page/control is
providing an adaptable model, that means you can write control adapter for
different target device(html, wap or ....). That also makes it less useful
to provide a mobile only control collecction.

In addition, currently, it is more encouraged to develop smart client
application (rich client) for smart device instead of web application(since
ASPX page is good enough for web application).

Sincerely,

Steven Cheng

I saw a MS demo a few years back where they developed a web page and the
software automatically rendered it for different devices. Is this what
I'm looking for?

http://www.asp.net/mobile/

Much of the info looks old. I have a MSDN account where can I download
it or is it already in VS 2008 and I just don't know how to find it?

I'm mainly interested in having simple pages render in Internet Explorer
on our PCs and on blackberries but it would be great if it also was able
to be accessed on other devices like Palm products or even just cell
phones.
