View 3 RepliesI have just been dabbling in MVC over the last couple of weeks. Knew I wanted to go in this direction but have been putting it off due to comfort/familiarity with webforms. Also knew that with my first MVC site I wanted it to support mobile devices. One of the first tutorials I saw implemented an Area for mobile support. I started that way as well.
Since I want to get off on the proper footing here I guess I'd like to ask you guys. What would the best practice be? Is it just a matter of preference? Are there any specific pros or cons to using or not using Areas when it comes to support for mobile devices?
For the web site I'm building (targeted at mobile users) I'm thinking of using some Ajax controls. I'd like to know which mobile browsers do and don't support Javascript and Ajax, so I can know whether I've at least covered the majority of my target market (i.e. iPhone, Droid, Nokia, Opera). If not, I'll have to find an alternative way of presenting my forms.
View 5 RepliesI need to make my site work well on a blackberry, i haven't put too much effort into getting this working yet, but i have a few questions which google is struggling with.I've read about detecting brower type and modifying the default behaviour of asp.net controls hereHow would I go about supplying a differant stylesheet to a specific browser, should i just do this?
if (Request.Browser.Browser.ToString() == "blackberry") //pseudocode
{
Response.Write("bb.css");
}
else
{
Response.Write("bb.css");
}
This will work fine, but i feel like there is a better method, i'm sure i've read about something in the past but i can't seem to recall.I'm also considering a response.redirect to a differant page for a blackberry, which at the moment i would implemenet in a similar way.
I am in the planning phases of building a new ASP.NET website. The website is really a transactional web application where the users will log in and perform basic CRUD data operations. For right now this website will be accessible through a traditional desktop browser and a mobile browser. For the mobile browser we will build a separate scaled down version of the site.In the future we may decide to create native mobile applications for Android or iOS devices also.
So the question I have is what is the best way to design the system to easily support that? Here is what I am thinking. I am thinking of building out 3 tiers to the site. The back end will be the database - SQL Server 2008. We will use stored procedures for all data access. The middle tier will be a web services tier. This tier will be built using RESTful web services and will contain all of the business logic. These web services will provide access to the database. The front end will be built using ASP.NET. The front end will only contain presentation logic. These tiers will actually be deployed on physically separate servers.
Then I am thinking that when we decide to build a native Android or iOS app that we could build those apps to simply call the same RESTful web services that the main site is calling.Does this seem like a reasonable approach? The only thing I can think of is that the way we are building it right now the web services would be behind the firewall and would not be accessible to the outside world. When we want to support a native mobile app then we would need to make the web services accessible to the outside world.Any thoughts? Does this seem like a good approach for building a high availability, high usage web app that needs to support native mobile apps in the future?

View 1 RepliesI have been trying to read through a lot of suggestions from many forum about ASP.NET AJAX and IIS 7. I thought it was probably problem with my web.config. So, I created a brand new site to test the UpdatePanel and Ajax Control Tool Kits. Just one page which has oneTextBox + CalenderExtender and UpdatePanel with a Lable and a Button. It worked so well on the development server Cassini but when I published it to the II7 , it's not working at all.
So, What should I configure in the IIS 7 or should I do to my web site project / web.config ?
I want to work on VS 2005 with 2.0 framework, Can I get the starter kit of Kigg for the same version?
View 1 RepliesI've written some code using the REST starter kit and it works fine on my development machine. However, when I upload it to our server the page gives me the following error message... CS1684: Warning as Error: Reference to type 'System.Runtime.Serialization.Json.DataContractJsonSerializer' claims it is defined in 'c:WINNTassemblyGAC_MSILSystem.ServiceModel.Web3.5.0.0__31bf3856ad364e35System.ServiceModel.Web.dll', but it could not be foundI've removed code line by line and it appears that the following line of code is triggering the error...HttpContent newOrganizationContent = HttpContentExtensions.CreateXmlSerializable(newOrganizationXml);Really haven't got a clue how to fix it. I assumed it might be because it needs a newer version of the framework to run, but looking in IIS it says it's running version 2.0.50727 which I think is the lates version because it says that even when we're using framework 3.5

View 1 RepliesI am developing a web based application for a Motorolla Mc 9090, it is a wireless barcode scanner running windows mobile 5.0.
The idea is to centralize the inventory in one database, by scanning items, serials, bins etc.
I have a set of pages each containg forms, where the user will have to scan an item, and automaticall the scanner has a carriege return (ENTER key) the idea was to have the user simply scan, and the page would automatically click the button posting to server for processing and then the server would reply.
For some reason i cannot get the focus() to work as well as the defaultbutton propperty of the form. There is also 1 more problem, the readOnly textboxes look the same as the non readOnly textboxes, even with the backcolor property changed.(guessing this is just MS)
