Hello Everyone,
I'm new to asp.net, i hope all of you can share ur experience with me and i really appreaciate any advise from u.
Now ~ i have a problem with .Net Mobile. My client want me to develop a application software on mobile phone through the internet to monitor their daily sales and my project was start on half way. my concern is how to deploy the program on the mobile phone ? i have no clue how it work. I hope u all can show me some clue . thank you :wave::wave:
Hi, you don't deploy ASP.NET Mobile apps to the phone. You deploy it to a normal web server. The only difference is that when you're actually producing WML pages with a limited set of controls that WML allows. So, continue developing the page normally on your machine. Deploy it to a server, then browse to it on your phone's browser.
huh?! izit?!
ok ~ how can i let the user direct point to my application without going to type the address? i means like click on some icon and direct access to my application.?:blush:
Depending on the phone and its OS, you could make the shortcut a link to a website URL and the phone should launch the browser automatically. I've seen it on many phones so this should be common enough.
cool~but 1 question ? how much it cost if i was using GPRS/3G to access the application? i did some research, the cost is charge depends on the KB izit?
Hey,
Either that, or you have a windows form application running on your windows mobile device, which connects to a number of Web Service Methods that you create, to retrieve the necessary data, and display it in your application.

i see..
i think i have to find a way to minimize the transfer packet. i only need to send a few data to the server.
Hey,
What sort of data transfer are we talking about?
Gary
WML is generally lightweight, lighter than regular web pages, so the data charges will be less for an ASP.NET Mobile page/WML page than for a normal web page.
o nice...
seems like it gotta be work...
thank you very much :thumb::thumb::thumb:
This again depends. If you want this 'application' to be available to all phones, then WML is your best choice since all the phone then needs is a browser, and WML is a standard. The advantage is that the code's in a single place, there are no versioning problems, etc.Quote:

The disadvantage is that you'll have to write a version for Symbian, WinMo, iphone, Android, etc. And the potential for a mistake is very very large if you have multiple versions of the same code.
yes~ i had think about to design a application sits on the mobile before, but there all so many OS out there. that's why i decided to create web base application.
