Sniff the device accessing the site

Question

User-410639770 posted

Hi there,

 

I want to add mobile device access to a website using mobile forms to sit alongside the browser version.

What API's are available to me to detect if it is a web browser vs a mobile or pda?

Do I just check using IsMobile in a default page and redirect? Is this he best approach?

If some one can give me some example code to get started would be great thanks.

One way is to detect the UserAgent .. and parse it correctly to see if it is a handset tht u want to support

string _useragent = Request.UserAgent;
