My hosting company have DU4 & .Net 1.1 installed, I also have
Framework 1.1 & DU4 installed locally.

My site works fine locally, tests in IE, Opera and under emulators
from Motorola, various Nokia, various SonyEricsson and numerous
flavours of Openwave, all xHTML and WML 1.1, 1.2 tested succesfully
locally.

The hosted site renders badly or incorrectly. The source of pages
displays the actual tags for example....

<body xmlns:mobile="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Mobile/WebForm">
<mobile:form id="Form1" runat="server"

etc...

It seems that I have missed something here. The hosted version of the
site is not actually rendering WML or XHTML, yet the version on the
development machine does.

Any ideas?

At this stage I do not want to get into developing my own device
adapters and detection code, I already have a simple mechanism for
detecting the top 25 devices I need to work with through the
HTTP_AGENT, so simple and fast solutions are preferred. :-)

Also, I did not need to do anything special on the local machine to
have WML and XHTML automatically dealt with by Visual Studio, IIS and
the Device Updates, so I am very confused why the hosted version of
the site behaves in this manner.

Is it necessary to send the mime/type down as you do when you write a
WAP site in XSL/ASP, I thought this was all automagic with .NET and
Mobile.

Many thanks to any one who has any ideas,

I don't know a lot about mobile asp, but I know that in the small print my hoster says MS Mobile Internet Toolkit 1.0 has to be explicitly requested from them

Its a little worrying that so few of these posts actually get answered
