mobile controls

[TheCivic]

Hi everyone,

We currently have a web application on the internet and are now going to expand and make the pages available to mobile users.

Am i right in thinking that in order to create a web page for a mobile (pda, wap phone etc) you dont have to use the mobile controls?

Can anyone here explain when and where you should / should not use the mobile controls.
Should i use normal .net controls for mobile pages?
Can you create master files with mobile pages?

If anyone has any links or reading material, i would appreciate it.

Cheers

You don't have to use mobile controls as any device that is capable of displaying HTML will do so. The mobile controls are simply used to enhance the experience for mobile users. Start your reading here:

Our web application is currently too large (resolution) in order to fit onto a mobile device, so i think that we would need to create another layout for mobile devices.

Any idea on what the best way is, to setup an application for both web users and mobile users?

Does skins and themes have anything to do with it?

Could i make 2 skins, 1 for web users, and 1 for mobile users that use the same code to load the data in?
