Build mobile application only for cell phones

Hi,

I'm try to write a wap only for cell phones. I have two problems need
to be solved:

1. How to tell the mobile application to stop responding (or refuse
responding) to all platform except cell phones?

I know the machine.config has information about what to render for
each specific platform, but I don't know how to alter them and can't
find detail information regarding that matter. Also, I'm hosting my
wap on a shared server so I have to override those settings in
web.config. Does this mean I have to edit each platform and tell the
wap not to render for them?



2. I take a look at the device update 3.0 and some cell phones are not
in the list yet. If I need to add devices myself, what should I do?

Currently, without the device update 3.0, my wap can't render pages
correctly for Samsung Cell Phone (for example). Since I can't alter
the machine.config directly (on a shared server), I have to solve
problem 1 in order to test if the new update fixes the problem with
Samsung cell phone I'm facing.

Any input is much appreciated.

Hi

Regards the first problem not sure of the best way to do
this, but imagine you could do a choice filter on the home
page which gives a 'refusal' message to all users except
those that are coming in on wap.

To add a device yourself you can take advantage of the
newish device profiling tool available at
http://www.asp.net/mobile/profile/default.aspx which then
produces the settings which you then need to paste into
your machine.config or web.config.

Hope this helps

Steph
