How to create a mobile version of an ASP.NET web site?

Question

I have a website created using asp and I want to make it accessible to mobile phones, such that a user can use it through his/her cell phone.

I don't have any knowledge of XML or .NET.

How can I do this?

Answer 1

ASP.NET Mobile Web Pages says

"The Microsoft Visual Studio integrated development environment (IDE) enables you to easily build ASP.NET applications that include mobile Web pages. You can include mobile Web pages in any ASP.NET Web site alongside ASP.NET Web pages. In Visual Studio, you can work with the adaptive rendering, customization, and extensibility features of ASP.NET mobile controls, using the standard IDE design tools: the page designer, the Toolbox, the debugger, Source view, Design view, and more."

Back in the day you would have needed XML to create WAP sites, but no more. Almost all smartphones have reasonably good built in HTML browsers, with standards compliant support for JavaScript and CSS.
