Posted on September 27, 2010 by News

Not many developer are aware that there is a property available in .NET called the HttpCapabilitiesBase.IsMobileDevice that lets you detect Mobile Device Browsers. Just use the following code:

C#

using System;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Configuration;

public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    HttpBrowserCapabilities hbc = Request.Browser;
    if (((HttpCapabilitiesBase)hbc).IsMobileDevice)
    {
        Response.Write("You are browsing from a mobile device");
    }
    else
    {
        Response.Write("No mobile device");
    }
}
}

VB.NET

Imports System
Imports System.Web
Imports System.Web.Configuration

Partial Public Class _Default
    Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
    Dim hbc As HttpBrowserCapabilities = Request.Browser
    If (CType(hbc, HttpCapabilitiesBase)).IsMobileDevice Then
        Response.Write("You are browsing from a mobile device")
    Else
        Response.Write("No mobile device")
    End If
End Sub
End Class
