.NET Forum / .NET Framework / Compact Framework / August 2007Windows Mobile 5.0 running asp page
Sorry if this is a repost. We are trying to create an application in Visual Studio 2005 for a Windows Mobile 5.0 device. What we would like to do is have a web page (this on is .aspx in vbscript) run on the mobile device and not be served from a web server. for a little more detail: These devices are not always connected, but the pages have just two simple controls and are used to store data on the device locally in SQL Micro edition. So we actually dont need a remote web server, just these pages locally. It works fine on the development machine, but that hs a local IIS server. Is this possible, or is there some other approach we should be using? thanks  SignatureThe truth is out there? Does anyone know the URL? Rudy I don't know about aspx, which I think is a no-go for Windows CE, but you should be able to install the Windows CE/Windows Mobile Web server on the device and serve ordinary pages, local pages, from that.

The Web server will, of course, serve ordinary HTML pages, too. It may be that you can get enough functionality to make it work for you, but it's doubtful that it will be a straightforward port from the desktop; most things aren't. Paul T. > Thanks.

There is an ASP 3.0 server, and ISAPI extensions are also an option.

Sorry, usually my parter handles this side of the development... you have to explain things like I am a newbie! ISAPI can run an active server page? > ASP.NET is not supported on CE/Windows Mobile.

ISAPI is a programming API for the Web server, so you can add functionality to the server by adding DLLs built to use the ISAPI (not in .NET, however; native code only). When the page requested by the Web client points to the ISAPI extension, that extension is loaded by the server and passed information about what the request was. It can then do whatever it wants, including asking SQL Mobile for data, whatever. ISAPI seems more general to me, but ASP might be closer to what you're used to.

I see little point in hosting web pages on a device as you are losing all benefits of web technology on mobile devices other than using the web server to host server side code.
