<browserCaps>

Hi,

Why there is no <browserCaps> section, which is correct?
I understand that Netscape and others are 'DownLevel' browser,
but in my case, also the PocketIE on my Ipaq and
Opera browser for SmartPhone are reconized wrong (IsMobileDevice = false).

From where or how I get the a configuration which works?

Thanks
Eric

Hi John,

Yes, I have installed all the updates.
In my machine.config, I have the following entries:

<browserCaps>
<result type="System.Web.Mobile.MobileCapabilities, System.Web.Mobile,
Version=1.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />
<file src="deviceUpdate.config" />
<file src="deviceUpdate3.config" />
<file src="deviceUpdate4.config" />

It must be something different.

Thanks
Eric

Hi, Eric

This should get you a config that works:

http://www.asp.net/mobile/profile/default.aspx

This tool can take the client browser through a series of steps to add
support for new browsers.
Regardless of whether the correct user agent is already in machine.config
or not, this tool can get the correct info and can be added to the
machine.config or web.config.

Hope this helps,

Thanks for the link. It seems to be a really helpful tool.

But my concern is more, that common used devices are not reconized.

An Ipaq 5550 or Sony Ericsson P900 (and Opera for Symbian) are widley used
devices.

If I need to write myself every configuration, it doesn't make sense to me.

Hi, Eric

I understand your concern, but the mobile market is constantly changing and
adding new devices. The devices you mention are fairly new, and they will
probably be in the next device update, but they are not present now. You
can look at http://www.asp.net/mobile/testeddevices.aspx?tabindex=6 for the
complete list of tested devices and emulators.

For the new devices, you will need to use the profiling tool until they are
added to the device update list.

Hope this helps,

Hi, Eric

More frequent updates would be great. They may be in a busy place in the
development cycle, and we'll see more devices when they finish with a
higher priority task.

Good luck with your project,

| My suggestions is, that there should be more often a 'deviceUpdate'.
