I'm working on an ASP.NET website which targets desktop browsers. We want to enable an optional mobile view (e.g. http://m.sample.com ) which will offer a few simple pages which will be mostly text. There will be not need for AJAX or even Javascript, and there's no user input - it's really just tables of text with a few links to navigate between the pages. What's the best way to set this up so it will work on Blackberry, Windows Mobile, and iPhone? Should I be looking at ASP.NET Mobile support, or just rolling my own pages? UPDATE : This was for m.microsoftpdc.com. We went with the /Mobile

I have recently installed Windows 7 and I have come to a conclusion. While Active Sync was old and did not work great, it did work. I could connect to my devices and emulators after the proper rituals and incantations. The other conclusion I have come to is that Windows Mobile Device Center is worse that Active Sync was. I cannot get it to reliably connect to my emulator (yes, I have set the connection type to DMA) despite how many times I cradle and uncradle. (The emulator connects to the Visual Studio Debugger just fine though.) With active sync I had to manually press the connect button in

I am working on an application for Windows Mobile 6 (or maybe 5) that plays YouTube videos. Well, it should play YouTube videos (and control/query the player about status changes, current frame/time, etc.) After scouring the web for quite some time now (and a few trials), I still couldn't find a way to do this. The options I know of are: Use the YouTube player, embedded in HTML, controllable via JavaScript. However, I couldn't watch YT videos from IE Mobile, to begin with -- I get an error message saying something along the lines of "you need a browser with Flash Player 8 and JavaScript

I have a .net cf 3.5 Windows Mobile application that my client wants to have autoupdate features. Here is what I have so far: create a CAB using the Smart Device CAB Project (is this good enough, or should I be doing something else here) 2.Get the application version number Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Version.ToString(); Call a WCF web service for to do a version number look up. Download a new version of the cab file. ??? Execute WCELoad.exe on the CAB file Profit Your solution is generally correct, but has a few problems. You can't update yourself. You have to shut down and have

I have an application written using VS2005 in C# targeting the Compact Framework 2.0 SP2. As part of the solution, I have CAB deploy project which deploys to the device without a problem. What I can't do is create a shortcut to my application on the devices desktop. I have spent several hours reading various bits of documentation (why is the search at the MSDN site so bad?), followed the instructions but no joy. What I've done is: Add the "Windows Folder" node to the File System Created a folder underneath that named "Desktop" Created a shortcut to the Applications Primary Output and placed

I have a personal pet project I'd like to start on, targeted at windows mobile 6. I've never done win mobile dev and would like to know what resources are out there, good tools to use, perhaps a jump start tutorial, as well as any gotchas I might want to keep in mind when developing for the platform? Windows Mobile 6 devices come with .NET Compact Framework 2.0 in ROM and also expose .NET APIs for a lot of things (camera, system notifications, email, contacts, ...). I'd recommend using Visual Studio 2008 and the refresh version of the Windows Mobile 6 SDK , which includes emulators,
