.NET Forum / ASP.NET / Mobile / April 2005Clarification regarding ASP.NET support for mobile devices
Forgive my ignorance, but i am somewhat confused regarding .Net Framework 1.x and .Net Framework 2.0, and then ASP.NET and ASP.NET 2.0. Am i correct to assume that ASP.NET 2.0 requires .Net 2.0? And, what version of ASP.NET is supported on Windows Mobile 2003 devices? Thanks! Support in ASP.NET 1.1 and 2.0 is done with the ASP.NET Mobile Controls -- it's a seperate download that contains a set of server side controls designed to render on hand-held style of device (cHTML and the like). There was something similar for 1.0 but I forget what it was. That's the story going forward. I imagine that in a service pack or some additional download after 2.0 is released there will be a new library targeted for 2.0. They were close to adding new support in 2.0 for mobile rendering but it was cut from the final release -- I suspect primarily due to timelines and the need to ship. -Brock DevelopMentor http://staff.develop.com/ballen > Forgive my ignorance, but i am somewhat confused regarding .Net > Framework 1.x and .Net Framework 2.0, and then ASP.NET and ASP.NET [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Thanks! Is this to say unofficially that the enhancements in ASP.NET 2.0 for mobile devices is not as "spectacular" as the documentation leads to believe? I've read the whitepaper "Migrating from ASP.NET 1.x to ASP.NET 2.0" and this reads that the MMIT and mobile controls have been "rolled into the main framework". I had understood this to mean that the same controls used for PC-based web-forms would work flawlessly on Mobile-based web-forms? > Support in ASP.NET 1.1 and 2.0 is done with the ASP.NET Mobile Controls -- > it's a seperate download that contains a set of server side controls designed [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > > > Thanks! > Is this to say unofficially that the enhancements in ASP.NET 2.0 for > mobile devices is not as "spectacular" as the documentation leads to [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > controls used for PC-based web-forms would work flawlessly on > Mobile-based web-forms? In Beta1 things were looking good, but then this update on changes in Beta2 was released: http://msdn.microsoft.com/asp.net/whidbey/beta2changes.aspx -Brock DevelopMentor http://staff.develop.com/ballen Free MagazinesGet these publications absolutely FREE for up to 12 months.
