This blog briefs on the steps involved in configuring the 51D Framework - .Net Mobile Toolkit with an existing ASP.Net application. These steps are common to ASP.Net web applications based on .Net 2.0 and .Net 4.0.

Integrating the 51D Framework with an existing ASP.Net web application involves configuring the licence key, defining required custom configurations and referring to appropriate version of Framework assemblies.

Let’s look at each step in brief assuming you have already installed the 51D Framework - .Net Mobile Toolkit.

51Degrees.mobi strongly believes that one size doesn’t fit all. It’s the reason we created our own mobile device description repository, which enables web designers to create a site that’ll adapt automatically for visitors using mobile phones.

However, it’s important to realise that a choice of just two sizes can also be less than ideal. With consumers now using portable internet-connected devices that range from feature phones to iPads, simply deciding whether or not a handset is ‘mobile’ isn’t always enough.

This is a guide explaining how to create a mobile web page that contains the nearest 'real world' retail stores to a user's mobile device, based on the current position. There are just 6 simple steps.

A completed project containing the results of these steps is available to download later on in this article. You will need to add a Framework licence key to the bin folder for the project to operate.
