The ControlAdapter provides an abstract base class that is used to derive the device-specific adapter classes in this namespace. The ControlAdapter provides a default implementation of the System.Web.UI.MobileControls.IControlAdapter interface required for all control adapters. It defines methods for handling postback and viewstate data, and rendering the actual control content (through the System.Web.UI.MobileControls.IControlAdapter.Render( ) method). Controls that derive from ControlAdapter should use the base implementation of the Render( ) method for rendering all child controls. This allows the adapter to be used with composite controls.

Most control adapters will not derive directly from this class. For example, all the WML-specific adapters derive from WmlControlAdapter, which in turn derives from the base ControlAdapter class. This is also true of HTML adpters, which derive form HtmlControlAdapter.
