Hi. I have created fileupload control and its working well on web browser. But i want to use the same control when some one access the site from mobile browser. so what should i do? i tried accessing the same site from mobile browser but its not working. i tested on 2 emulators and i got this result. Microsoft Mobile explorer: Not showing the browse at all but the upload button is visible and when i click it does give the validation error that please upload the file. Openwave: its visible and when i click browse it does goes to phone memory for me to select picture or any file but once i click upload button , it crashed. is there any alternate way to do so? i am new to asp.net environment. and need urgent help. thanks

Mobile browsers are not as advanced as desktop browsers. You will need to research what the capabilities of the mobile browsers of your choice are and then re-work your website to accommodate those features.
