What is the Mobile Device Browser Definition File?

0

The Mobile Device Browser Definition File contains capability definitions for individual mobile devices and browsers. At run time, ASP.NET uses this .browser file, along with the information in the HTTP request header, to determine what type of device/browser has made the request and what the capabilities of that device are. This information is exposed to the developer through the Request.Browser property and allows them to tailor the presentation of their web page to suit the capabilities of the target device. More Information The format of the .browser file is XML and the schema is defined here: Browser Definition File Schema. The Browser Definition File was introduced in the .NET Framework version 2.0. In earlier versions of the .NET Framework, the browserCaps element was used to define browser definitions in configuration files. Please note that you must have Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 installed to use this .browser file.
