.NET Forum / ASP.NET / Mobile / July 2003Can .NET match this?
I would like to know if it possible to achive the same in .NET: * Phone Nextel i58sr (or any other inexpensive phone) * Runs JVM and Java application * Phone is not connected all the time. This is a very important requirement because the phone is used with a barcode reader and used by a truck driver, who often out of a cell coverage area. If the phone is not connected, the driver still can use the application, which than automatically transmitts the data when phone goes online. I looked into all MS mobile technologies (Pocket PC, Pocket PC phone edition, Smart Phones, .NET compact framework, ASP.NET mobile controls, etc) and it does look like it is possible to do .NET. ASP.NET mobile contols are nice but require constant connection, Pocket PC and smart phones are too expensive. Am I overlooking something? Thanks, -Stan Stan, ASP.Net mobile controls are server-side for web sites that are delivering content to mobile devices and are not controls for the movile devices themselves. For the mobile devices, there is the .Net Compact Framework, which is a version of the .Net Framework designed for devices such as the PocketPC. Basically though, we're probably out of luck until some group is able to port the Compact Framework to other environments, like the Mono project is porting parts of the .Net Framework to Linux.

The idea of "adaptive rendering" on ASP.NET mobile controls certantly has its benefits but there are in many cases it is not applicable because it requires a constant connection. Even today, there is no a wireless company with 100% coverage... ASP.NET mobile controls work for people at the airports and bars checking their emails, but not for the truck drivers... So, I guess the only solution for this is Java. > Stan, > ASP.Net mobile controls are server-side for web sites that are [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] > > > > -Stan Hi, Stan I checked with my local Mobile expert and you are correct. If you don't have either a connection or the compact framework available, we are not going to be able to help you at this time.
