A consequence of the main proposition includes results of Tacon, and John and Zizler and says: If a Banach space X possesses a continuous Gâteaux differentiable function with bounded nonempty support and with norm-weak continuous derivative, then its dual X* admits a projectional resolution of the identity and a continuous linear one-to-one mapping into c0 (Γ). The proof is easy and selfcontained and does not use any complicated geometrical lemma. If the space X is in addition weakly countably determined, then X* has an equivalent dual locally uniformly rotund norm. It is also shown that l admits no continuous Gâteaux differentiable function with bounded nonempty support.
