How to begin Mobile Web Development using ASP.NET

01/25/2010

Throughout the course of history of Web Development all information and content has went from static, to sites producing content "on demand" or dynamic if you will.

The purpose of this model was to deliver information on personal computers, or MAC, but had never really designed for use in portable devices.

In comes the PDA. Those same sites don't display properly on a PDA or cell phone.

Due to the fact that is uses a mini-browser? and generally supports non-HTML markup.

In addition to not support HTML actually these devices are smaller processor, less I / O devices, and rated battery life at best.

All things considered for developers it is still imperative to build apps for these devices.

Meanwhile, the simple thing, to make these apps need to be purchased, the parameters yet, and you are more efficient because of working on mobile devices.

To begin building a Mobile App using ASP.Net, you will need to use the System.Web.Mobile Namespace which is included in the .NET Framework.

The Namespace comes loaded with ASP.NET Mobile Controls, as well as authentication for your Mobile apps.

Namespace ASP.NET Mobile (s) Area Description System.Web.Mobile includes basic functions of mobile System.Web.UI.MobileControls.Adapters Core classes include System.Web.UI.MobileControls adapter includes ASP.NET Mobile Controls

Now, my friend Joe as they were building blocks or

Once the application is made by the server to retrieve a page System.Web.Mobile Namespace take a look at the HTTP headers to determine the type of device and browser used.

At this point, the server generated from System.Web.UI.MobileControls namespace properly controlled, but also select from a consistent basis for the type of device System.Web.UI.MobileControls.Adapters adapter.

Compendium:

In this article I have given you the foundation to being using Mobile Controls.

Happy Coding

How Do I Make a Mobile Device Website?

11/30/2009

How do I make a Mobile Device Website?

Mobile Devices like the BlackBerry and Pocket PC are becoming ever more popular. People are moving away from the office so that they can become more productive.

As this trend continues it becomes even more popular for the webmaster or business to have a website that is friendly to a mobile device.

It's best to retain those web users and maybe even gain a few new one in the process. Website's specifically engineered for mobile devices do just that.
Why can't mobile devices use the same website as pc's and mac's?

Well, the main reason is that the pages are too big. Most sites are formed in order to be viewed at a resolution of 1024x768 or at least 800x600. Well, the BlackBerry 8730e has a resolution of 320x240. It is the equivalent of looking at the card through a small hole.

So what needs to be done? We need to lower the resolution of the web page. Because we can't expect 90% of your users that are on PC's to look at a tiny website on their screen we need to create a duplicate site.

Is some solution, in my opinion, the best one can do with one hand. First, why, consider looking at your web site or from a mobile device? The main reason some e-mail address where the phone number of 2.Looking of 4.They 3.Looking you want to know more about your company 1.Looking

Then. It will be my first one here. So, for the two mobile phone users need to create a second website. Most people choose to go mobile.yourwebsite.com approach. I will probably create a subdomain, the fastest way to deal with the situation I think it's awesome.
Creating Subdomain for Mobile on Apache Web Server

Cases, Apache Web site that you have the chance to run in underneath cpanel cpanel server icon to create a sub-domain of / is text. In this case, and these are going to follow the instructions there. Then, like, create a folder to the site. http://www.yoursite.com/mobile/, the user will see the contents of the folder mobile mobile.yoursite.com please.
Creating Subdomain for Mobile on IIS Server

IIS server, create a sub-domain is a little more difficult is that in Apache. First, you must create a folder in the Inetpub the so-called movement. Then, you need to manage by right-clicking My Computer, and then a new web service, and then and then, IIS Web site. Create a new Web site named for the mobile Web site, and then ensure that the appropriate / home directory option is to show the mobile contents of the folder. Then go to Control Panel, and choose the network device, and then right-click your network connection, enter the property. And then click the Advanced button, and to ensure that IP Settings tab. Add an IP address (a new web site is not the same as your other one), and then save all.

Now you need to mail.yoursite.com NAT the incoming request, the internal IP address. I may have skipped a step or two, but I am I have covered. If you have questions on Google "sub-domain to install IIS tutorials"

Now back to what we where talking about earlier, making a few pages specifically for the mobile device browsers You need to create at least 4 different pages

* Email Directory
* Phone Directory
* Location
* About

If your organization is not that large you can probably compress Email / Phone directory into 1 contact page.

These pages need to be minimal. Minimal text, minimal tables, minimal pictures ect. Also NO FRAMES, NO JAVASCRIPT, and NO FLASH as most mobile device browsers can't read any of those.

Assuming that everything has wen 't well you should have a mobile friendly website that can be viewed by any user anywhere. Make sure to post a link on your main page linking to the Mobile Page, and give it out to your customers as well.
