Where can I find out what values are submitted by different browsers for
Page.Request.Browser.Browser? Thanks.
Page.Request.Browser.Browser? Thanks.
You are using an out of date browser. It may not display this or other websites correctly.
You should upgrade or use an alternative browser.

Where can I get the values for Page.Request.Browser.Browser?

You obviously misunderstood my question. Page.Request.Browser.Browser
returns a String, such as IE for Internet Explorer. I am using this value to
determine what browser the user is using, and in order to do this I
obviously need to know what values different browsers will give. Any ideas
where I can find out what these values are? Thanks.

Nathan,
In the config\Browsers directory of the .Net Framework 2 :
Drive:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\Browsers
There's a set of browser config files, named *.browser
which you can use to build a basic list of values.
Open each .browser file with a pure text editor, and look for the .browser name entries.
For example, Palm's entry is "MyPalm" :
<capability name="browser" value="MyPalm" />
For any other browser not listed there, you'll need to create a .browser file for it.
Here's an article which shows how to create a blackberry.browser file :

If you create a new .browser definition file, you must update the browser definitions assembly :

OK, I guess that answers my question, but based on what I saw when looking
at the files, it's a little confusing as to what value will be returned (for
some, it looked like it was a different value depending on the browser
version). So I would like to ask if there is a more efficient way to do
browser detection? Most of the stuff I have written did not really involve
browser detection, since I have usually concentrated on the server-side
code, and any JavaScript that I did need to write and/or generate was
relatively simple. What technique do most ASP.NET developers use when doing
browser detection (not capabilities detection, just which browser)? Thanks.
