How to imitate the native iPhone look and feel in a web app developed with the ASP.NET platform?

Question

Hi,

I'm planning to develop a web application that targets the iPhone. I will use APT.NET to develop the application. I will probably use ASP.NET MVC.

I'm researching how I will imitate the native iPhone look and feel in my web application. I'm looking for an approach that will be easy to use with the ASP.NET platform.

So far, I found iUI (code.google.com/p/iui/). iUI a collection of CSS stylesheets and javascripts to imitate the native iPhone look and feel. I'm not sure yet how easy it is to integrate with ASP.NET as most samples are static html.

What are good ways to imitate the native iPhone look and feel in a web app developed with the ASP.NET platform?

Regards,

Syl

The server-side platform you use is irrelevant to the front-end look and feel, it is the same techniques on any platform.

I have also used the iUI framework with great success, using a Django backend. The front-end is determined purely by the HTML, CSS and JavaScript that you serve up, which is independant of the server-side code.

ASP.NET MVC gives you a lot more control over your markup than plain-old WebForms, so it should be ideal for this.
