Hi, Stan
I checked with my local Mobile expert and you are correct. If you don't
have either a connection or the compact framework available, we are not
going to be able to help you at this time.
HTH,

| Yeah, it is too bad that MS does not have anything to match Nextel/Java
| (running and download java apps to the inexpensive ($100-$150) cell
phones).
|
| The idea of "adaptive rendering" on ASP.NET mobile controls certantly has
| its benefits but there are in many cases it is not applicable because it
| requires a constant connection.
|
| Even today, there is no a wireless company with 100% coverage... ASP.NET
| mobile controls work for people at the airports and bars checking their
| emails, but not for the truck drivers...
|
| So, I guess the only solution for this is Java.
