Hello

Are there some namespace in the framework which one I can take information of the client's Browser? (developing with ASP.NET

Example
If the client has my URL in his Restricted Site, in his security's Internet Options, Are there some manner for knowing it?

Some online article

Thanks in advance!

You can check out the server variables. For example take a look at following
article:

You wouldn't be able to get the information about restricted sites from the
ServerVariables collection. This collection is primarially made up of
SERVER environmental information. While SOME data about the client is in
there, restricted sites is not.

I don't think that information can be assertained by a server-side program.

Like querying the browser's history, I would be surprised if such is
possible as it is a privacy issue.
The one solution that *may* work is to create a trusted ActiveX component -
that's assuming IE provides an API to poll such information.
I'm too lazy to check, but I'd bet a nickel and two pennies there's no
published API for that as again it is a security issue.
 
Hi

I was thinking the same solution (ActiveX), but always is my last option. I will research about it, and if I get positive results, I will write about
