Develop Mobile Solutions Using ASP.NET Mobile Controls

摘要

I am totally impressed with the .NET Framework and the .NET integrated development environment (IDE). Using the ASP.NET Mobile Controls and .NET IDE, I put together this example in less than two hours! Like many of you, I was a little intimidated by developing mobile solutions. I wasn't sure what technology solution to use. I was confused because you have to know a lot of things to develop a mobile solution, such as: 1. Different markup languages, including HTML for PDAs, wireless markup language (WML) for Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) cell phones, and compact HTML (cHTML) for certain i-mode phones. 2. Different form factors. For example, devices have varying numbers of display lines, horizontal or vertical screen orientation, and color or black-and-white displays. 3. Different network connectivity, ranging from 9.6KB cellular connections to 11MB wireless LANs. 4. Different capabilities. Some devices can display images, some can make phone calls, and some can receive notification messages.
