Browser detection

Question

I need to separate IE and FF browsers from others

it's a pseudo-code :

If (CurrentBrowser == IE(6+) or FF(2+) ) { ... } else  { ... } 

in protected void Page_Load() event (think so)

if ((Request.Browser.Type == "IE") || (Request.Browser.Type == "FF")) {     WebMsgBox.Show("1111"); } 

no effects :-/ what is IE and FF types?

Answer 1

if (Request.Browser.Type.Contains("Firefox")) // replace with your check {     ... }  else if (Request.Browser.Type.ToUpper().Contains("IE")) // replace with your check {     if (Request.Browser.MajorVersion  < 7)     {          DoSomething();      }     ... } else { } 

Answer 2

Here's a way you can request info about the browser being used, you can use this to do your if statement

System.Web.HttpBrowserCapabilities browser = Request.Browser;     string s = "Browser Capabilities\n"         + "Type = "                    + browser.Type + "\n"         + "Name = "                    + browser.Browser + "\n"         + "Version = "                 + browser.Version + "\n"         + "Major Version = "           + browser.MajorVersion + "\n"         + "Minor Version = "           + browser.MinorVersion + "\n"         + "Platform = "                + browser.Platform + "\n"         + "Is Beta = "                 + browser.Beta + "\n"         + "Is Crawler = "              + browser.Crawler + "\n"         + "Is AOL = "                  + browser.AOL + "\n"         + "Is Win16 = "                + browser.Win16 + "\n"         + "Is Win32 = "                + browser.Win32 + "\n"         + "Supports Frames = "         + browser.Frames + "\n"         + "Supports Tables = "         + browser.Tables + "\n"         + "Supports Cookies = "        + browser.Cookies + "\n"         + "Supports VBScript = "       + browser.VBScript + "\n"         + "Supports JavaScript = "     +              browser.EcmaScriptVersion.ToString() + "\n"         + "Supports Java Applets = "   + browser.JavaApplets + "\n"         + "Supports ActiveX Controls = " + browser.ActiveXControls                + "\n";
