You must have heard about this one liner stating “Food, clothing and shelter are the basic necessities of life”. But now “Mobile Devices” have also become a part of one’s life. It is all because of the applications and several other features of a cell phone that they have become so popular. Earlier Java based games and web applications were found in the cell phones but these days you will find many other languages being used for creating web applications like ASP.NET, PHP, C, C++, and many more.

In all, ASP.NET is the easiest programming language to build mobile web applications and so the usage of it can lead to incredible browsing experience to a wide variety of mobiles.

It’s very easy to develop a mobile application on .NET framework. You just have to create an ASP.NET page and include the Mobile Web Namespace System.Mobile.UI. After this you have to design that page with mobile controls. Do not get confused with mobile control and mobile apps as both of them are totally different. Mobile Controls are kind of building blocks which are used for developing mobile applications. These controls ...
... are related to the HTML Button control and Grid control in Visual Basic. Mobile Controls are designed in such a way that it simplifies the application development by providing the capabilities which programmer needs.

If we talk about the advantages of using ASP.NET, then there are many. For example with the usage of this language you can add mobile pages to your web forms and MVC application, you can even simulate your smart phone for testing etc. Even with it you can easily build your own iPhone and Android apps.

Apart from advantages and disadvantages, it is necessary to realize how the versions of ASP.NET support mobile browsers. In case, you are looking forward to create web apps using this platform then you need to keep few things in mind like:-

1. Web clients such as Internet Explorer and Netscape.

2. Mobile clients such as Phone.com, Nokia Cell phones and Pocket PC’s.

3. ASP.NET applications can be developed on any .NET enabled language such as VB.NET (Next version of VB), JScript, Managed C++, C#, etc.

4. Mobile Web namespace (System.Mobile.UI) which is exposed by the .NET Mobile Web SDk(Via the MobileUI.DLL file).

As a whole, you just have to understand the concept of mobile application designs in ASP.NET and rest will be at ease.
