HTML5 has nothing to do with VS or ASP.NET. You don't need to update VS just for doing a mobile project. JQM will do most of this for you and it is free.

>Thank you, James. Since I used ASP.NET before I want to continue using it (instead of learning PHP and another technology). I will have to buy/upgrade to the latest version of VS and hopefully HTML5 is part of it too.
>I don't have a mobile device to see your url (I only have Blackberry) but I will be buying iPad soon so I will check out your app.

>>HTML and CSS are just text files that tell the browser how to render the page. HTML5 and CSS3 are just new versions. Any language that can generate text files can be used so .net can be used. I am using PHP from my current project but I have used West-wind to do this as well. Jquery is a javascript library that just makes using javascript easier. Jquery Mobile (JQM) is a library written in Jquery specifically for mobile devices designed to work transparently across different devices. Here is my app www.rcsfind.mobi. This will not work with desktop browsers yet but if you have a smart phone or ipad you can see what JQM does. The buttons, check boxes and text boxes are all styled with CSS. Once the first page is loaded, all navigation is done using AJAX so it looks more like an app then a web page.

>>>James,

>>>I will look at the url you provided. But something about use of HTML5, CSS3, and Javascript I am not clear. I am not up on the web technologies so my question is very newbie. If I use ASP.NET can I still have my code to be using HTML5? Or there is a different technology for HTML5? And is the latest version of ASP.NET (and the last one I used was 2.0) using HTML5?

>>>>HTML 5, CSS3 and Javascript is largely supported by most modern browsers including IE9. If you stick to the standards then you will have an app that will be supported by more devices. Take a look at www.jquerymobile.com. This project is just about to go to beta and it does work quite well. By using stands your app will work on more devices.
