ASP.Net apps for hand-held devices newbee !!

Hi,

I already got a nice Web application running and need to adapt it for iPaqs,
Smartphone and Blackberry.

Can you suggest a better newsgroup if any and some links to find best
practices and help on how to start ??

Among questions:
- I want the Default.aspx from the main site to redirect if Windows CE is
detected, what it is the best way t do it ? will it work on any hand-held
platform ??

- Guidelines and principles about layout and display

- things no to do on hand-held platform like framesets, javascript....

Thanks a lot !!

Regarding the ability to determine if Windows CE is accessing your
Defualt.aspx you can check the Request.ServerV ariables("http_ user_agent")
to see what is displayed. ex.

UserAgent = Request.ServerV ariables("HTTP_ USER_AGENT")
IsPocketPC = (InStr(UserAgen t, "Windows CE") > 0)

As far as the other questions go, I do not have much experience with this.
I am sure there are a few articles on MSDN about this. I hope the above
info helped.

Hello all. I'm in the process of writing a business app in Python. (defining business app: data entry, validation, interactive reports, etc). For my purposes, it must be a native app (wxWidgets, GTK or Qt-based). A web application will not do it (although I would love it). To make a long history short: I used to develop business apps for a living for a long time (up to the mid 90s). My last experiences were with Delphi and VB. I know...

We have multiple ASP.Net web apps in development. As a standard we are looking to go with SQL Server to hold state information. Can we have the multiple apps all point to a single State DB? Or do we need to install multiple instances of the State database on to the SQL Server (one for each Web app)? It would seem that you could run into troubles pointing several web apps at the same DB, because you would introduce the possibility (a...

I understand that VS.NET is supposed to compile native Win32 apps that do not require the .Net runtime. If that's the case then there is something else from the VS200x package that is required. MSVCR80.DLL and MSVCR80D.DLL are present and accounted for in Windows\System32. This is something else. Message says that the application configuration is incorrect. I just compiled a simple "Hello.cpp" app that exhibits the same behavior so...

ASPX which means ASPX pages, the code-behind concept, User Controls, Web Controls etc. is very poorly designed and makes it extremely hard to develop professional quality web applications. ASPX is Microsoft's attempt to "dumb down" web application development to help unskilled developers such as web design agencies achieve some results. For high quality applications IHttpHandlers are the way to go.

I have a server where two different users are each running a different web application. I installed SugarCRM for one, and Info@Hand (built from SugarCRM) for the other. Both are trying to save and access the same file in the PHP session_save_path (/tmp/ sess_c2b09aac9b607b1df05d73c7f1c4cbb1). If I delete that file, the whichever app runs first, saves data under that filename and the other will fail. They both keep regenerating the...

I often see mention of SMBs that either want to upgrade their Windows installations, or move to Linux, but cannot because of inhouse VB apps.
