Hi, I’m just getting started with mobile development. When requesting the user agent does it need to be on the default.cs page or can it be put in an gobal file?

Thanks

You can easily determine mobile device and its details using open source API http://www.51degrees.mobi/Products/NETMobileAPI

This API gives detailed information of the device making the request and also has facility to redirect user automatically to mobile specific page when request in coming from mobile device.

I found it very useful and easy to implement in my mobile website developments.

Let me know if you face any issues in using.

Thanks

I just got a false positive from a Mac user using Safari 3.2 – the string “ppc” is the offender, here is the user agent string:

HTTP/1.1 Mozilla/5.0+(Macintosh;+U;+PPC+Mac+OS+X+10_4_11;+en)+AppleWebKit/525.27.1+(KHTML,+like+Gecko)+Version/3.2.1+Safari/525.27.1

Don’t use “ppc” people – also, if you want to be tight see: http://user-agent-string.info/list-of-ua

This wouldn’t detect my Nokia device, add “SymbianOS” and it should pick up a lot more devices.

Good work!

I had to remove “PPC” since Firefox 3.x on Mac includes PPC. Otherwise it works perfectly!

You could put it anywhere that the context is available. Use it where you think it’s convenient.
