Hi list,

just want to let you know that HAWHAW now can be used for developing mobile apps
in a native ASP.NET environment.

PHP-only coders can stop reading here ...

There is a great project called Phalanger, that allows to compile PHP scripts
into .NET assemblies and thus made this approach possible:
http://www.php-compiler.net/

By means of the Phalanger compiler the hawhaw.inc class library has been
converted into a .NET assembly and based on that a set of ASP.NET custom web
server controls have been defined that perform a mapping from aspx page content
into an according hawhaw model.

A HelloWorld application with HAWHAW.NET looks like this:

<%@ Page Language="C#" Inherits="HawhawPage" %>
<%@ Register Assembly="Hawhaw" Namespace="Hawhaw" TagPrefix="Haw" %>
<Haw:Deck runat="server">
<Haw:Label runat="server" Text="Hello world!" />
</Haw:Deck>

HAWHAW.NET can be considered as some sort of alternative solution to Microsoft's
Mobile Controls for ASP.NET. It allows to create ASP.NET applications with C#,
Visual Basic or any other programming language supported by the .NET framework.

The whole thing works quite well on my local dev machine. Anyway, feedback from
ASP.NET experts is highly welcome.

Keep on laughing,
