cannot redirect to mobile page

[Carlos]

Hi all,

I was just trying to execute sample code to redirect the
output to a mobile page from a Pocket PC but it did not work.

I tried from the root aspx file (page_load event):

if (Request.Browse r["IsMobileDevice "] == "true" )
Response.Redire ct("indexm.htm" );
else
Response.Redire ct("indexd.htm" );

I also have

<configuratio n>
<system.web>
<httpRuntime
useFullyQualifi edRedirectUrl=" true" />
</system.web>
</configuration>

in the web.config file.

The desktop page is always displayed. but the mobile is not from Pocket PC
How can I trace it and determine the mobile device? Thanks,

Carlos.

continued from previous post...

when I trace the page it tells me that the user agent is
indeed Windows CE:PPC;240x320. So.. I do not know
why dows not detect the isMobileDevice condition

Thanks again,

Carlos.

look at the useragent string the pocket pc is posting. then in
machine.config, check that the <browserCaps> is correctly identifying the
agent string as mobile device.

Thanks Bruce,

it was kind of tricky to understand the browsecaps section in the
machine.config file. I believe that it just
there was a mistake in the IE version that start supporting
mobility. The range was from 5-9, when I changed from 4-9 it worked fine. I
would like to test with other browsers too.

Thanks again.

Carlos.
