What calendar control can I use for mobile web site? - asp.net

I'm developing a web site in ASP.NET/C# that is targeted at mobile users.
What calendar control do you recommend, that will work on Nokia, Safari, Opera?

If you're looking for mobile UI, take a look at Mobiscroll Calendar Control.
The UX was specifically created for mobile.

There is a mobile:Calendar control in the System.Web.UI.MobileControls namespace if you are using ASP .Net Mobile WebForms. Link. You will need to test it on the devices/OSes you mentioned.

I think the best solution is using a textbox with some validation :-)

Turns out that most browsers support Ajax, so I'm going to go with a nice Ajax control from Telerik.

asp.net application to html5/css3

I have an asp.net application made in VisualStudio2008 and I want to have a similar kind of application for mobile users and I want to use HTML5 and css3 for that but I dont know how to deal with code-behind part can anyone help?
You can expose the logic/code in code behind through web services,(better if they are RESTful), and then consume those services through your client side code (jQuery)
You might want to look into something like Nustache (Mustache for .NET).
A better option would be to reproach your front-end markup so that it's responsive. A great option would be to use something like Twitter Bootstrap or Zurb's Foundation framework.
You can use jquery mobile for your project this is article maybe help you.
Use Twitter Bootstrap http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/. It really is the best option and will make creating a responsive mobile and desktop site a breeze.

jqTouch with ASP.NET Webforms

The form tag that wraps all ASP.NET webform applications is causing jqTouch to completely break (as in, nothing works - none of the transitions, effects, etc). Has anyone gotten jqTouch to work with a ASP.NET webforms application?
For mobile development you can user Jquery mobile. it was developed exclusive for mobile and have a lot of features to mobile events. Is more tiny, faster and easy to use. I had use this with form tag, you just need to main the main , and the head page on each aspx.
You have all reference here.

And can open the api with google chrome browser

Are the Internet Explorer Web Controls IE only?

Recently, I came across a set of Internet Explorer Web Controls from Microsoft. These look to me to be older controls from the pre-standards era of Microsoft's asp.net development. I'm curious as to whether or not these controls work well with modern browsers, or if they're basically IE only. I know it says it will render to "downlevel" browser, but it seems to indicate that "any browser other than IE" is a downlevel browser.
Are there a modern set of controls from MS?
I wouldn't recommend using these - they aren't supported by Microsoft anymore and all the samples are on GotDotNet, which has been shutdown.
You'd have better luck developing with a more recent version of the .NET Framework.
THe four control provided (MultiPage, TabStrip, Toolbar, and TreeView) could be done using something like JQuery UI.
TreeView doesn't work properly in Chrome.
(the tree displays fine, but expand/collapse actions don't work)

Any real reason to use ASP.NET Mobile?

I've been putting together a small web form for our technicians to use from their phones out in the field. However I'm having a lot of trouble getting things working using ASP.NET Mobile, and there seems to be few resources out there to help learn this stuff. I'm also having trouble getting help.
So the thing is, do I really need to use the mobile controls? The phones will all have web browsers, so I'm thinking if I'm careful with the interface I can get as good or better results than using the mobile controls.
The only thing I would like from the mobile controls is the PhoneCall control... so the follow up question would be: Can I get the functionality of the PhoneCall control without using it?
Depends which phones your customers will use. Not all phones support the full and rich HTML produced by classic ASP.NET controls. Mobile controls tend to produce simpler and specific for the device. Certainly there are limitations on the controls, but this is due to the limitations of the end devices.
So, test if the classic ASP.NET pages are working with your target device, before doing a Mobile version.
Use mobile controls has same adventages that web controls in web. Using Mobile Controls + Controls Adapters + WURFL helps to developing very fast to many devices.
Yes, you can use WTAI primitives of WML: <a ref="wtai://wp/mc;34123456789">Call</a>
You can always navigate to a page that has those phone controls when needed
