Redirect to Mobile page

Question

User342212311 posted
I reviewed the postings and example code on Microsoft that uses Request.Browser("IsMobileDevice") and added the <httpRuntime useFullyQualifiedRedirectUrl="true" />. However, this code enters an endless quering. What would be causing this endless quering? Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks.

Are you sure your code doesn't cause endless loop?

Yes, it was my code. The code was referencing the page calling itself. Sometimes you can look at something and not see the bugs before your eyes until you give up in frustration.

The code redirects for a Pocket PC 2002, but fails for a Pocket PC 2003. There must also be a browser configuration that has to be added to the web.config file - do you know what might need to be added?

Thanks.

Redirecting means usually that browser gets HTTP response 302. On some browsers it is possible to block redirects. I'm not 100% sure that this is the cause of your problem. Before building workarounds just check if the problem is not in your code.

Try

Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) 
    If Not IsPostBack Then
          Dim obj As System.Web.Mobile.MobileCapabilities = CType(Request.Browser, System.Web.Mobile.MobileCapabilities)
           If Not obj.IsMobileDevice Then
              Response.Redirect("WebPage.aspx")
            End If
         End If
     End Sub

The example above works only if ASP.NET can recognize the device. If it doesn't then it uses default fir IsMobileDevice (true).
