Are they known issues of Openwave 5.0 with ASP.NET mobile controls?

I have come across a few weird issues when testing with Openwave
browser 5.0 (included in Openwave SDK 5.1). The issues are:

1. System.FormatException
Input string was not in a correct format.
Method: ParseInt32.

- The page doesn't even do Int32.Parse at all.

2. System.ArgumentException
Form not found:
'MyFormName**'
Method:GetForm

- The form name is appeneded with some weird characters.

I have found reports of these issues in this newsgroup two years ago.

According to the first reply, Openwave 5.0 is not officially supported
by Microsoft ASP.NET mobile control. However, I've checked the latest
list. It is really supported.

Do you know how I can solve the above issues? Thanks

I forgot to mention that these issues do not appear in Openwave 4.1
and 6.2, Pocket PC 2002 / 2003, and Smartphone 2003 emulators.

I thought it was related to the language that it renders. However,
both Openwave 4.1 and 5.0 use WML 1.1, but only Openwave 5.0 has those
issues.

Any suggestion is much appreciated.

Yes, I'm running V1.1 with device update 4. Is there any newer patch?

Thanks for your reminder though

Currently NO, we wont have a Device Update beyond v4, mostly because the
faith of Mobile Controls is being decided for .NET 2.0 (maybe mobile
controls will be deprecated by ASP.NET 2.0) currently in .NET 2.0 Beta 1
there are no Mobile Controls, ASP.NET 2.0 renders a special version of your
website specifically for mobile devices without you having to write a single
extra
line of code, in Beta 2 it wont be so and they (ASP.NET Team) recommend us
to keep using Mobile Controls as in v1.x.

As you can see it's not still very clear what it's going to happen but all
rumors point to the extinction of Mobile Controls for .NET 2.0 RTM (that
means NO more Device Updates).

Nevertheless you can build the Profiles for the Devices you want here:

it's a very cool wizard that will guide you through building the profiles,
Hope it Helps!!!

Good Luck!!!
