Hi Jim,
1/. Is there a concept of master pages for mobile web forms? I will be creating a fair few mobile web forms that share the same template.
Master pages are not supported in ASP.NET Mobile Web Forms.
2/. How to I go about creating a template design for mobile web forms? In normal ASP.NET where we can use HTML, I either create tables or position divs in the form. What is the alternative in mobile web forms? I need to create something with a template like
this
<Template Header>
<Page Header>
<Content />
</Page Footer>
</Template Header>
The headers and footers will simply be user controls that contain some logos/few words.
You are able to use HeaderTemplate and FooterTemplate for ASP.NET Mobile Forms, however templates must be associated with specific device filters. You must define and apply device filters to controls prior to creating control templates. Please see these links

Alternatively, since one ASP.NET mobile Web Forms page allows several forms to be defined. Based on my understanding, you can make one form to serve as "template" and copy the contents from this form to others.
