ASP.NET Device Profiling

The Microsoft ASP .NET Mobile Controls Device Profiling Service is provided for your convenience. The Service basically consists of a tool that allows you to determine the capabilities of a mobile device so you can extend ASP.NET mobile controls to support it and then stores the profile information in a list accessible by you under the "My Profiled Devices" portion of the Service. ASP.NET mobile controls (formerly known as Microsoft Mobile Internet Toolkit) provide support for more than 200 devices, and Microsoft continues to add support for new devices through regular device updates, available for download from the Device Update Web site here.. If you need to extend ASP.NET mobile controls to use devices not yet supported through device updates, you can use this Service to profile the device.

The device profiling tool provided as part of the Service contains a self-explanatory wizard that walks through the steps of running profiling scripts on a mobile device and then recording the results in the wizard. Once you have profiled a device, you can download a device configuration file that can easily be inserted into the Machine.config or Web.config file. For a detailed description of how to use this tool, see the Help section.

Important Note: Profiling a device using this Service does not guarantee that the device will support ASP.NET mobile controls. In some cases, for example, you may need to make changes to the adapter code to provide the best possible rendering for the device. Microsoft does not provide technical or customer support for Devices that are not on the Microsoft Supported Devices List.
