If you want your android's device (Phone or tablet), with jellybeans, honeycomb, etc, load full web pages instead of the mobile version, do the next steps:


1. Open the browser on your device

2. In the address bar, type: about:debug then press enter

3. Open the browser's settings (the icon in the top-right corner, it looks like four horizontal lines) then selecting "Settings" from the drop-down menu

4. Select the Debug section

5. On the right side of the screen, select UAString then select Desktop as the new option

6. To exit the debug mode in the browser, press the back button in your device

7. In the browser's address bar, type again "about:debug" then click enter

Now your device is ready to display full web pages, instead of mobile ones.

• Click on the "Steps" option
• Below the Job list, see the "Start step" option, verify the step showed is the first one

Controls dynamically added in ASP.NET are lost after a postback

If you are loosing your controls added dynamically to a web page after a full or partial postback, is because you are not creating them in the Page.Init.

According to the ASP.NET Page Life Cycle, PostData (all values inputed on the client side) is applied between the Page.Init and Page.Load, so, if you add a control in the Page.Init, they will not lose their state and you don't have to recreate them.

        protected void Page_Init()
        {

        Control ct = ParseControl("");

        Page.Controls.add(ct);

        }
