So I'd like to redirect mobile users to a different page. But instead of trying to detect any number of mobile browsers, I'd just like to see if the user is using IE, Firefox, Safari, Chrome, or Opera; all other users go to the mobile site. My biggest problem is detecting regular Safari from mobile Safari.
View 1 RepliesI have an existing web site and I would like to create a mobile version of it that is more suitable. For instance, the main site uses drop-down menus and we all know those are quite the fail on mobile devices.I would like to redirect to my mobile version (it will be a subdomain of the current site) if I detect a request from a mobile browser. So when they Google something and come to my site, they will automatically see the mobile version (just like Wikipedia).Does ASP.NET provide an easy way of doing this
View 6 Repliesi'm programming an application where an action is done if i access with a version equal or higher than other and another action if i access with a lower version; but the problem is that the lines to indicate the versions doesn´t work. The code is the following:
[Code]....
As you can see, an action should be done if the version is the 9.0 or higher and other if it is lower, but these lines doesn't work and only works the detection of the web browsers (no the versions of them, action that doesn't works).
How to check in code behind if the type of device that is accessing the page is mobile?I'm using Request.Browser.IsMobileDevice, but the detection don't work to some mobile devices.
View 1 RepliesI want to check if a mobile browser has javascript enabled before displaying a page to the user. The code I've found from my research is:
System.Web.HttpBrowserCapabilities browser = Request.Browser;
Response.Write(browser.EcmaScriptVersion.ToString());
So to ensure that javascript is enabled on a browser, you need to check wheather the returned valued is either equal to or bigger than 1. This works on normal browsers, but when I test it on my phone the returned value is always 0.0, no matter if my javascript is enabled or disabled. Is there a way to check if javascript is enabled on a mobile browser or will the browser handle the incapability on it's own?
I am designing ASP.net Web pages and not sure if this would be the right way to do this.I am designing the web sites that will be accessed from either regular computers or mobile devices (phone).I was thinking to detect at very first page that whether users are coming from mobile browser or regular browser and direct to appropriate pages. So for mobile users, create/display separate UIs (rearrange controls to fit on mobile device) and for regular users, create/display separate UIs. The backend functionalities will be same, but just the UIs. Therefore, in this case I will create two separate projects in same solution, one for mobile UIs, and other one for regular UIs, but same code behinds.
View 3 RepliesWe have our site which user accesses from desktop browser as www.domainname.org now I am working on mobile version of the same. I came to know that some mobile sites have URL as [URL] so i thought of making our site as accessible from both domainnames I am using WS 2008 & IIS 7.0.
View 3 RepliesFor the web site I'm building (targeted at mobile users) I'm thinking of using some Ajax controls. I'd like to know which mobile browsers do and don't support Javascript and Ajax, so I can know whether I've at least covered the majority of my target market (i.e. iPhone, Droid, Nokia, Opera). If not, I'll have to find an alternative way of presenting my forms.

View 2 RepliesI'm writing a web site (ASP.NET/C#) that is specifically targeted at mobile phones.On the master page I have put an ASP menu. This works fine in IE8 and Firefox, but when I try viewing it from my Nokia browser, while the menu is visible, its behavior is incorrect: I tap on the menu to open it, and instead of opening the next level of menus, the control disappears altogether!Interestingly, I got the same behavior using Chrome on my computer.I haven't yet tried on Safari, but the message is already pretty clear: the ASP.NET menu control doesn't work on the Nokia browser, and that is a showstopper. What alternatives do I have? It needs to work on Nokia, Safari and Opera, at least.I saw in a similar question that someone suggested writing a custom server control. Nice idea, I'm sure... but how do you explain that to this ASP.NET newbie?

View 1 RepliesI am developing a web based application for a Motorolla Mc 9090, it is a wireless barcode scanner running windows mobile 5.0.
The idea is to centralize the inventory in one database, by scanning items, serials, bins etc.
I have a set of pages each containg forms, where the user will have to scan an item, and automaticall the scanner has a carriege return (ENTER key) the idea was to have the user simply scan, and the page would automatically click the button posting to server for processing and then the server would reply.
For some reason i cannot get the focus() to work as well as the defaultbutton propperty of the form. There is also 1 more problem, the readOnly textboxes look the same as the non readOnly textboxes, even with the backcolor property changed.(guessing this is just MS)

1. Desktop websites ->www.****.com -> this is i have used to view full websites in IE,FIREFOX,CHROME,etc...
2.mobile website ->www.****.com -> this is i have used to display mobile website using any mobile devices like iphone, stc, nokia, samsung, etc...
In my mobile website have one button which is for "view full website" . If i click on that from mobile the link which i want to show full website with the same mobile device what devices i have using.
My LogIn action originally looked like this:
return new RedirectResult(nameValueCollection["ReturnUrl"]);
But, I would like to know whether the client has JavaScript enabled before the home page loads, so I changed it to this:
return View(new LogInViewModel { ReturnUrl = nameValueCollection["ReturnUrl"] });
And send the following view instead of the instant-redirect:
@model Obr.Web.Models.LogInViewModel
@{
Layout = null;
string noJSReturnUrl = Model.ReturnUrl + (Model.ReturnUrl.Contains("?") ? "&" : "?") + "noJS=true";
}
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Loggin in...</title>
<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="1;url=@noJSReturnUrl">
<script type="text/javascript">
window.location = "@Model.ReturnUrl";
</script>
</head>
<body>
<noscript>
Loggin in...<br />
<a href="@noJSReturnUrl">Click here if you are not redirected promptly.</a>
</noscript>
</body>
</html>
The idea is that if the user does not have JavaScript enabled, they see a brief loading message, and the home page loads after a second. If JavaScript is enabled, the page reloads instantly. In the future I could even post to the server the dimensions of the viewport and such. Does this look like it would work? If the window.location command takes longer than a second to run, will it be interrupted by the meta refresh, or does it block that refresh? I am hoping the latter, so I don't need to increase the delay for those non-js people.
I figure my new way adds a little extra weight to the payload of the redirect, but it's not an extra round-trip or anything, is it? The redirect happens anyway, does it not? Update: I neglected to mention a very important point. I do not actually have control over the login screen itself, only the page it posts to. This code is part of a product that relies on an external authentication mechanism.
I'm developing an extra section to a web app that's written in asp.net, but in php - it's mostly done (the two parts don't really communicate with each other outside of a database - the integration is mostly just cosmetic.)
The only issue I have is detecting from the php part when the .net session has expired so that it logs the user out and redirects to the login page.
I believe the asp.net application is compiled, but either way I'm not allowed to alter it so I was thinking maybe the best thing to do would be to make a very small/simple aspx page that outputs true or false which I could call using curl from php (and passing the browser's cookies along.)
Would this even be possible? I'm not sure how session security works on asp.net eg whether one .net application can read another's session variables, but if it's anything like php then it'll be possible.
mypage.php --curl--> checksession.aspx --|
| |
<----------- true / false <---------------
So mypage issues a GET (with cookies from browser) to checksession using curl, checksession simply returns a true or false (or something like that) and mypage redirects to the site's login page if that's false.
The authentication for the php side is already sorted out and is separate to this issue.
So really, what I need to know is can I have just a simple .aspx file that does this check, and if so where would I go to to find out how to program such a simple page?
