Get the client's operating system's name

Question

I want to get the client's operating system's name (i.e Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows Vista).

Answer 1

Use Request.Browser.Platform, and the version is in Request.UserAgent

Answer 2

HttpBrowserCapabilities browse = Request.Browser;
string platform = browse.Platform;

Answer 3

I installed a cool tool named: https://github.com/ua-parser/uap-csharp
that parse the user agent to OS,Browser,Browser version etc...
Link to Nuget.

And this is how used it:

 public static string GetUserOS(string userAgent)
        {
            // get a parser with the embedded regex patterns
            var uaParser = Parser.GetDefault();
            ClientInfo c = uaParser.Parse(userAgent);
            return c.OS.Family;
        }
