Mobile Device Support in ASP .NET

People use all kinds of mobile devices today to access the internet, and it may be important for your Web site to offer each visitor an optimal experience no matter what screen size, bandwidth, or browser they are using. Visual Studio 2005 fully supports the adaptive rendering capabilities of ASP.NET so that you can use one control but render different content to different clients. A Calendar control, for example, will automatically render different content when it is displayed in a WAP browser (which expects WML) than when it is displayed in an HTML browser. You can extend this built-in level of adaptability by customizing the display properties for individual device types. And if you are specifically targeting devices running Microsoft Pocket PC or SmartPhone software, emulators are available to show you exactly how your ASP.NET page will look and feel to your mobile visitors.

Filters let you customize your ASP.NET page display for many different mobile devices.
