I am new at mobile phone apps..I am wrtiting an asp.net app for mobile phone devices. It is a simple app, but when I place a valid phone number in the phonecall object, everything works fine..UNTIL I click on the link to make the call. It tries to make the call and I get a screen with the following verbiage on it:

"running a system command on this item might be unsafe. do you wish to continue?"

It gives me the option to continue, I reply YES, but when it tries to complete the call, I get another message saying it tried to complete the call, but it appears invalid.

The # is valid, but it cannot complete the call.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi Mark,

Can you share the code? Try using this sample code

<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 7.1">
<meta name="CODE_LANGUAGE" content="Visual Basic .NET 7.1">
<meta name="vs_targetSchema" content="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Mobile/Page">
    
<script language="vb" runat="Server">
    Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
		PhoneCall1.Text = "Call Me"
		PhoneCall1.PhoneNumber = "*123*66#"
		Dim currentCapabilities As System.Web.Mobile.MobileCapabilities = CType(Request.Browser, System.Web.Mobile.MobileCapabilities)
		If currentCapabilities.CanInitiateVoiceCall Then
		PhoneCall1.AlternateFormat = "Call {0} at {1}"
		'Else
		'PhoneCall1.AlternateFormat = " Your Phone Doesnt Support Voice Initiate Property " --%>
		End If
		End Sub    
    </script>
</head>
<body Xmlns:mobile="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Mobile/WebForm">  
    <mobile:Form id="Form1" runat="server">
    <mobile:PhoneCall runat="server" id="phonecall1" />
    </mobile:Form>
</body>

Bullonprowl,

Thank you for your post...I think I am doing everything your post stated, but I am posting the code below:

html source:

<%@ Page Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="M_LeadFrm.aspx.vb" Inherits="Mobile_M_LeadFrm" %>

<%@ Register TagPrefix="mobile" Namespace="System.Web.UI.MobileControls" Assembly="System.Web.Mobile" %>

<mobile:Form id="Form1" runat="server" BackColor="#C0C0FF">

<mobile:Image ID="Image2" Runat="server" ImageUrl="~/Images/home_0.gif" NavigateUrl="~/mobile/M_Logo.aspx" BreakAfter="False">

</mobile:Image>

<mobile:Image ID="Image1" Runat="server" ImageUrl="~/Images/16_back.gif" NavigateUrl="~/mobile/M_Activities.aspx">

</mobile:Image>

<mobile:Label ID="Label1" Runat="server" Font-Bold="True" Font-Size="Small">

</mobile:Label>

<mobile:TextView ID="TextView1" Runat="server" Font-Size="Small" BreakAfter="False">

</mobile:TextView>

<mobile:Panel ID="Panel1" Runat="server">

</mobile:Panel>

<mobile:Link ID="Link1" Runat="server">Mapquest</mobile:Link>

</mobile:Form></body></html>

-----------------------------------------------

code behind:

--------------------------------------------

labelX.Font.Bold = MobileControls.BooleanOption.True

labelX.Font.Size = MobileControls.FontSize.Small

labelX.Text = label4.Text

phonecallX.Font.Size = MobileControls.FontSize.Small

phonecallX.Font.Bold = MobileControls.BooleanOption.True

Dim labelX As New MobileControls.LabelDim phonecallX As New MobileControls.PhoneCall

If label4.Text <> "" Then

phonecallX.PhoneNumber = PhoneCall1.PhoneNumber

Panel1.Controls.Add(labelX)

If phonecallX.PhoneNumber <> "0" Then

Panel1.Controls.Add(phonecallX)

End If

Hi Mark,

you got my code working? as i have given.. you need to check, better, the capabilities of the browser if it supports CanInitiateVoiceCall.

I think you have pointed me in the correct direction (browser). While I did not make any code changes, I did start messing with the browser. Finally today I got the phone to make the phone call from the browser without error. I still get that annoying message about it "potentially be unsafe to perform this operation. "

Anyway, I apreciate the help...I will close this issue. If you have any idea on how I can get rid of that message screen, I would appreciate the info.

hi mark, happy that you got your problem solved :-). always happy to help. and you should have marked my reply with code as answer. you marked the other resposne as answer instead (code block may help others who is searching for the same problem).

And regarding getting rid of the message, dont think its possible as it is phone dependant. message may vary depending on the phone and browser.
