Device Identification Aganist the browser

[vamsI007]

Hi Knowledge Spices,
I have a remote server which will have different versions (.cab,.sis) of the same application. I would like to download the supported extention file for the Device.
I have a mobile web application which will download .cab file for pocket PC through InternetExplorer
now i would like to know that is it possible for me to identify the device aganist which my application running?
if so if it is nokia i will let the user to download .sis file or if it is PocketPC i will let him to download .cab...
Any one please help Hoe to identify the Device...

I am working with VS2005 and .net 2.0 with Mobile web Application in C#.net
Advance thanks

Try

if instr(server("http_user_agent"), "Nokia") then
   'device is nokia, handle appropriately
elseif instr(Server("http_user_agent"), "PocketPC") then
   'etc
end if

This is how I would detect using asp. I'm not sure what the user agent will be in those cases, but it should be different.

I think most people detect with javascript, though, but I don't know why that would be the default.

Let me know if this helps.

Oh, sorry. You said you were writing in c# and I gave you a vb answer. It should be something similar to this, though. Or ask in the .net forum.
