Yeah, that's the same thing I've been told at every turn also. What
they don't tell you is that without updates you can't even tell the
client platform to be able to correctly render different output. It
looks like they just aren't interested in the mobile framework any
longer. I guess I will have to change platforms. Too bad really,
this is the first time the framework fell short.
This is not a good sign for Mobile Dev in .Net.
Steven, thank you very much for taking the time to find an answer. It
is unfortunate it is the same line they are feeding everyone.
