Remarks

The mobile controls configuration settings also provide general configuration settings for ASP.NET mobile Web pages. All mobile controls allow you to set custom control attributes using the IAttributeAccessor interface of ASP.NET Web pages. This interface provides the GetAttribute and SetAttribute methods. In addition, the MobileControl class exposes a CustomAttributes dictionary. For more information about custom attributes, see Custom Attributes for Mobile Controls. For more information about how to create and configure adapters, see Adding New Device Adapters and Device Support.

The attributes for the <mobileControls> element are defined in the following table.
