[KANAN14]

Hello Everybody, I am using the Nokia mobile and very much happy to use it. Actually i want to run some languages on my mobile. Because my mobile does not support much languages. I am programmer by profession. So i have heard that Microsoft has built one platform to develop extensions of .net framework. How this software works ?

Yes it is true that Microsoft has launched a basic platform to make applications extended by the .Net framework. But before you start using this platform i would like to tell you that you should be much familiar with the following languages.
1. HTML / XHTML
2. XML namespaces
3. ASP .NET

Recently Microsoft has revealed its new platform for making an applications for mobiles. Basically .NET Mobile is an extension to Microsoft's .NET Framework and Microsoft ASP.NET. You can build applications for wireless mobile devices by .NET Mobile which is a set of server-side Forms Controls. This controls are responsible for generating the different types of outputs for different devices by generating WML, HTML, or compact HTML.

Here is the sequence by which .Net Mobile works.
1. A web client requests for a web page.
2. This request will travels trough the Internet.
3. Then request will be received by IIS.
4. Request will be handled by the .NET framework.
5. Then ASP.NET will compile the requested page.
6. Any mobile device requirements will be handled by .NET Mobile.
7. Then page will be returned to the client.

If you want to develop an application using the .Net Mobile then there are some components which needs to be on your computer.
1. Windows 2000 Professional/Server with IIS 5.
2. Microsoft Mobile Internet Toolkit (MMIT).
3. A WAP simulator.
4. All Windows 2000 service packs.
5. Internet Explorer 5.5 or later.
6. The ASP.NET framework.

.Net Mobile will be doing much support to the software developer of mobile applications. Once the developer is done with the basic requirements to use the .Net Mobile then it is much easier to create an application.

• Create an ASP.NET page.

• Include System.Mobile.UI.

• Add Mobile Controls to the page.
