ASP.NET Mobile Controls are no longer supported.

http://mdbf.codeplex.com/ is the nearest equivalent.

Answer 3

Hello

Instead of mobile forms of VS2005 use standard webforms of VS2008 because all latest mobiles supports HTML. You need to customize your webforms as per the capabilities of mobile device making request to the website.

We are using http://www.51degrees.mobi/Products/NETMobileAPI/tabid/86/Default.aspx it is free open source asp.net mobile api which helps is tracking whether request is coming from mobile devices and redirects user to mobile optimized .aspx pages without changing any existing web pages. It makes use of WURFL the most upto date mobile device database. Along with this it also gives you detailed capability information of mobile device making request which you can use to customize pages for each mobile device.

With this you can have same web address for both current and mobile websites.

Regarding Mobile Device Browser File:

Quote: "Due to the organizational restructuring of the team that developed and supported the Mobile Device Browser file, we will no longer have the resources to support and update this CodePlex project. The team will be providing two more releases – one on the 27th July 2010 and the final release on the 24th August 2010."
