I used to use notepad for mobile development.  I just output simple HTML and tweak as and when each incompatibility is discovered by the users.  For example <input> will not show up on a Sony phone if it is within an <ul> section but it shows up fine on other phones so I have to give up using <ul>.  Basically a lowest common denominator thing.  What a sad situation.

So what's the latest with ASP.Net?  Does ASP.Net automatically adjust the output based on the browser?  For example, with Internet Explorer ASP.Net will output the Width property of a TextBox as a width parameter in the STYLE attribute of an <input> tag.  But some phones don't obey this particular style so does ASP.Net then generate it as the WIDTH attribute of the <input> tag instead?

And BlackBerries will stretch an input box to fill up the width of the whole screen, so how to handle this?

Advice and experience sharing much appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi,

Vs 2005 there  were Mobile control but with Vs2008.There is no Predefined Control or pages for Mobile.

But Know Days Mobile Phones have Full Blown Broswer such as Opera , firefox ,safari..

What does this mean?  Does this mean:

a.  Nobody bothers to develop web pages for cell phones?

b.  Those who develop just try their luck.  As I have said, <ul><input type='text'></ul> does not show up on a Sony phone but a Nokia renders it the same as PC IE.  My users discovered this and I wasted much time investigating the problem stripping the code line by line until the cause is found.

U can Download It from Follwing..

Thanks.  That confirms what I feared: no support for development for mobile devices.
