Understanding offline-supported controls

Offline-enabled mobile apps support a specific set of controls. By learning about the available controls, you can ensure that your offline-enabled mobile app operates reliably.

When you design an application that users can access while offline, you use available controls from a predefined list. Offline-enabled mobile apps do not support the following features:

Localization of property references
Cascading of controls, except for drop-down lists that use parameterized data pages

Note: When a control or feature that you want to use is not available in offline mode, you can still use the control or feature when the offline-enabled mobile app regains network connectivity. For more information, see Enabling online-only features in offline mode.
