Question

Basic question here: Where are the asp.net mobile controls? 

I'm running Visual Studio 2005 Enterprise, and I just downloaded the Windows Mobile 6.0 SDK hoping to find them there but no such luck!  Also of the three namespaces that are referenced in the documentation, I only have 1 - System.Web.Mobile.  System.Web.UI.Mobilecontrols and System.Web.UI.MobileControls.Adapters don't exist. 

Thanks

Hi Alex,

(1) AFAIK, Visual Studio 2005 has no Enterprise version. Please check Help -> About Microsoft Visual Studio for its version.

(2) Windows Mobile 6.0 SDK is not required for the two namespace.

(3) Try modifying Visual Studio 2005 installation, make sure Smart Device feature is installed.

Zhao,

I'll take another look at the installed components.

Thanks for your help.

I've got Visual Studio 2005 Professional.  Do these controls come with this version?

Also setup says that Smart Device Programmability is installed for both Visual Basic and C#, but as I said before the ASP.NET mobile controls don't show up anywhere.  Do I need to create a tab in the toolbox and add the controls manually???

Alex,

Sure you can add them manually, but I'm wondering why they are not exist in the toolbox. The assembly name is System.Web.Mobile(2.0.0). It is registered in the GAC. You can verify it with the following command line first:

GACUtil.exe /l system.web.mobile

Hope it helps.
