Hi Mushtaq,

VS 2008 did not support Asp.Net mobile web forms, Normal ASP.NET web
pages can run on most of the device browsers. So you can use these
templates and build your app.
VS 2005 still supports ASP.NET mobile controls.
I don't know, why MS decide to remove ASP.NET mobile controls in VS
2008.

I saw in a blog entry, templates that can be used for the development.

Hello Mushtaq

Source mode supports development of Mobile Web forms. Add the following
TagPrefix attribute to the @ Register directive:

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

Requirements: Normal Web Form and include web controls prefix with 'mobile',
but you will see error message in design mode, just ignore it, build the appl
and run it..

Try your best,
