Has anyone had any luck w/ using Request.Browser in ASP.NET
2.0?
Specifically the Request.Browser.ScreenPixelsHeight,
Request.Browser.ScreenPixelsWidth don't seem to return
correct results.
When I check these values they just report 640x480 which is
not my
current resolution (1600x1200).  I tried it in FireFox and
IE so it
doesn't appear to be a browser issue.  Is there anything I
can do to
make these properties return correct values?  I tried to
google for this
info, but surprisingly there isn't much out there...

Thanks for any insight you can provide.

Hi Mark,

Afaik all of the browser capabilities are extracted from the
http
headers sent by the client to the server. Asp.net 2.0
contains a very
powerful technology to accomplish this using a set of
regular
expressions, applied to the aforementioned headers: you
could access the
code for each one of them (and add you own, if needed) in
the
\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\Browsers folder, checking out every
.browser file.
You should see that ScreenPixelsWidth/Height is available
only for a
small set of known user agent, namely Treo600 and other
mobile devices
which, in fact, send these informations embedded in one of
the http
headers they use. To extract those values from the browsers
not
supported by this mechanism you should use javascript, if
available.
