Can you capture the OS name of a client pc?

[Mark]

Is there a way to capture the operating system (Mac v. Windows) being used
by a client PC viewing our ASP.NET web site?

Thanks in advance!

You can grab this:

Request.ServerVariables("http_user_agent")

And then try your luck parsing out an OS. Not guaranteed to be in there,
nor is it really at all consistant from PC to PC, but it's sometimes in
there somewhere. I think that's as close as you can get from the server
side of things

Where do you get all the ServerVariables parameters? A list of all

Thanks

You can also loop through the collection code and get them. From the
documentations:

Dim loop1, loop2 As Integer
Dim arr1(), arr2() As String
Dim coll As NameValueCollection

' Load ServerVariable collection into NameValueCollection object.
coll=Request.ServerVariables
' Get names of all keys into a string array.
arr1 = coll.AllKeys
For loop1 = 0 To arr1.GetUpperBound(0)
Response.Write("Key: " & arr1(loop1) & "<br>")
arr2 = coll.GetValues(loop1) ' Get all values under this key.
For loop2 = 0 To arr2.GetUpperBound(0)
Response.Write("Value " & CStr(loop2) & ": " & arr2(loop2) & "<br>")
Next loop2
Next loop1
