Hi vatsal,

Here is some resource to get started with ASP.NET Mobile Web Forms:

Besides, Visual Studio allows ASP.NET web project to have both Web Form and Mobile Web Form in one project. You can create an ASP.NET Mobile Web Forms in the same project for testing.

 Vatsal,

 Here is a relevant link for rendering header and footer templates in a DeviceSpecific control:

Is this WAP site in dotMobi domain? (like visible.mobi). If so, I am interested in knowing whether ASP.NET Mobile Controls are suitable for creating sites conforming to dotMobi rules and best practices, and which get a perfect score in the compliance test.

An earlier discussion in this forum indicated otherwise: http://forums.asp.net/p/1096901/1658112.aspx
 

Thanks,

Hi vatsal, 

A browser of the device is a basic requirement. Based on my understanding, most devices have browser and shall be able to open ASP.NET web sites.
