Answer 1

hi,

you will get all kind of Browserinfo from here

HtmlPage.BrowserInformation;

Answer 2

 

You can get those details with the help of  HtmlPage.BrowserInformation.

For e.g If You Want to Get Browser Name write                    

string str=    HtmlPage.BrowserInformation.Name;

string browserVersion=

HtmlPage.BrowserInformation.BrowserVersion;

Mark this as answer if this answers your Question.

Answer 6

 You willnot be able to get  the IP address from the silverlight object. You need to get that from the Request  object from the web application, which can be then sent to the silverlight object using initparms..

This will get you the IP 

HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"]

 

In the aspx page load event, you will be able to pass the initparms like this

Silverlight1.InitParameters = "IPAddress=" + HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"];

Answer 7

u can use:   System.Windows.Browser.HtmlPage.BrowserInformation.BrowserVersion
