    Although lots of sites work great on my windows phone 7, not many forum sites do. But code projects forum works great for my phone =D

      I was actually expecting a "CodeProject's mobile version sucks!", so thank you for making my day. Even so, we personally aren't at all happy with our mobile version and are looking to completely revamp it.

          I have to agree. I love this site on mobile. I do wonder if someone's done a "web app " social dealy for it yet however. just for organization wise I guess. not that it needs it. when I come to the forums on cell, everything sizes quite nicely, only thing I need to do is zoom.

            it would need a bunch of web services to expose the data in some consumable format (ie, JSON) first then it would not be too hard to consume them on various platforms *hint hint chris* :)

                i would respectfully say that clearly you don't really understand web services unless i missed the "joke" icon on the post

                  No, I do understand what a web service is but what I fail to understand is why people would rather use something ugly like XML or JSON. For example, this is from an XML web service:

                  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>

                  • <SOAP-ENV:Envelope SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
                  • SOAP-ENV:Body
                  • <ns5257:NDFDgenByDayLatLonList xmlns:ns5257="uri:DWMLgenByDay">
                    <listLatLon xsi:type="xsd:string">38.99,-77.02 39.70,-104.80 47.6,-122.30</listLatLon>
                    <startDate xsi:type="xsd:string">2008-02-12</startDate>
                    <numDays xsi:type="xsd:string">7</numDays>
                    <format xsi:type="xsd:string">24 hourly</format>
                    </ns5257:NDFDgenByDayLatLonList>
                    </SOAP-ENV:Body>
                    </SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

                  However, if for example if you was providing a weather web service, and you wished, for example, to provide the temperature for the next 5 days, why not provide plain text like this:

                  15 C, 14.5 C, 17.1 C, 18 C, 19 C

                  This way, you would not need to mess around parsing the XML and you would only need to parse the commas.

                    that is SOAP and XML JSON is designed NOT to be like that representing hierarchical data is essential and plain text doesn't cut it so i repeat my earlier assertion... with all respect again ;)

                        see that's the thing... if you have to ask that question it means you don't really understand it properly with all due respect :)

                          I recently gave training on how to produce disco and wsdl files for asp.net web services, and how to use the generated soap envelopes in xmlHTTPRequest calls. Talk about some lost souls.
