custom control help

F

Ferruccio Barletta

Hi,

I've been building a mobile custom web control using MSDN and various
articles as a guide. The purpose of the control is to retrieve a
document at a url and display its contents. Right now, I would be happy
if I could get it to simply display a fixed string!

So, I created a control:
------------------------
using System;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.MobileControls;

using System.Diagnostics;

namespace MicroSearch.MobileControls
{
public class DocViewer : MobileControl
{
private string url_ = "";

public String Url
{
get
{
Debug.WriteLine("get url: " + url_);
return url_;
}
set
{
url_ = value;
Debug.WriteLine("set url: " + url_);
}
}
}
}

and a control adapter for html devices:
---------------------------------------
using System;
using System.Web.UI.MobileControls;
using System.Web.UI.MobileControls.Adapters;
using System.Diagnostics;

namespace MicroSearch.MobileControls.Adapters
{
class HtmlDocViewerAdapter : HtmlControlAdapter
{
protected new DocViewer Control
{
get
{
Debug.WriteLine("new DocViewer");
return (DocViewer)base.Control;
}
}

public override void Render(HtmlMobileTextWriter writer)
{
Debug.WriteLine("Render");
writer.Write("I am here!");
}
}
}

the control and the adapter are built into an assembly: msmobile.dll
which is then referenced by the application:
-------------------------------------

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Search.aspx.cs"
Inherits="Search" %>

<%@ Register TagPrefix="mobile" Namespace="System.Web.UI.MobileControls"
Assembly="System.Web.Mobile" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="msmobile" Namespace="MicroSearch.MobileControls"
Assembly="msmobile" %>

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<body>
<mobile:Form ID="SearchForm" Runat="server">
<mobile:Label ID="Label" Runat="server"
Alignment="Center">Search</mobile:Label>
<mobile:TextBox ID="SearchText" Runat="server" Alignment="Center"
OnTextChanged="SearchText_TextChanged"></mobile:TextBox>
<mobile:Command ID="SearchCmd" Runat="server" Alignment="Center"
OnClick="SearchCmd_Click">Search</mobile:Command>
<mobile:Label ID="ErrorMsg" Runat="server" ForeColor="Red"
Alignment="Center" BackColor="White"></mobile:Label>
</mobile:Form>
<mobile:Form ID="ResultsForm" Runat="server">
<mobile:List ID="ResultList" Runat="server" DataTextField="Text"
DataValueField="Value"></mobile:List>
</mobile:Form>
<mobile:Form ID="ViewForm" Runat="server">
<mobile:Label ID="Title" Runat="server" BackColor="LightCyan"
ForeColor="Blue"></mobile:Label>
<msmobile:DocViewer ID="DocumentViewer" Runat="server"
Visible="True" />
</mobile:Form>
</body>
</html>

and finally I added a device adapter entry in the app's web.config file:
-------------------------------

<mobileControls sessionStateHistorySize="6"
cookielessDataDictionaryType="System.Web.Mobile.CookielessData">
<device name="MicroSearchHtmlDeviceAdapters"
inheritsFrom="HtmlDeviceAdapters"

predicateClass="System.Web.UI.MobileControls.Adapters.HtmlPageAdapter"
predicateMethod="DeviceQualifies"

pageAdapter="System.Web.UI.MobileControls.Adapters.HtmlPageAdapter">

<control name="MicroSearch.MobileControls.DocViewer,msmobile"

adapter="MicroSearch.MobileControls.Adapters.HtmlDocViewerAdapter,msmobile"/>
</device>
</mobileControls>


Everything builds just fine, then I run it and get:
-----------------------------

Server Error in '/MobileWS' Application.

Any ideas as to what's going on?
