 property System::Web::HttpBrowserCapabilities ^ Browser { System::Web::HttpBrowserCapabilities ^ get(); };

protected System.Web.HttpBrowserCapabilities Browser { get; }

member this.Browser : System.Web.HttpBrowserCapabilities

Protected ReadOnly Property Browser As HttpBrowserCapabilities

An HttpBrowserCapabilities specifying client browser and markup capabilities.

The following code example shows how to use the Browser property to access the details of the requesting browser. In this example, the code checks to determine whether the browser is compatible with JavaScript, and then allows the developer to render customized output in that case.

A ControlAdapter object determines the client browser capabilities from the HttpBrowserCapabilities object that is returned by the Browser property. This enables the ControlAdapter object to render browser-specific markup or otherwise modify the behavior of the Control.
