I am logging errors on my asp.net-mvc site and I wanted to see if there is anyway to detect the users browser info (name, version, etc) as it seems like people are getting issue but its because they are using very old browser. This info would help me avoid debugging time if I know they are using a "Not supported" browser.

In Solution Explorer, right-click the Controllers folder and then click Add, then Controller. In the Add Scaffold dialog box, click MVC 5 Controller with views, using Entity Framework, and then click Add. Select Movie (MvcMovie. Models) for the Model class.
If you need to get the user from within the controller, use the User property of Controller. If you need it from the view, I would populate what you specifically need in the ViewData , or you could just call User as I think it's a property of ViewPage .
You can get the supplied User Agent which gives browser information:
Request.UserAgent There is a site which lists browser user agent strings: http://www.useragentstring.com
Other values you may be interested in.
Request.Browser.Platform Request.Browser.Version Request.Browser.EcmaScriptVersion You may try the Request.Browser property. It will contain pretty much everything you might need about the client browser (assuming it is sending the UserAgent header properly of course).
