Examples

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.

#using <System.Web.dll>
#using <System.dll>

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Web::UI;
using namespace System::Web::UI::Adapters;

public ref class CustomControlAdapter: public ControlAdapter
{
protected:
   virtual void Render( HtmlTextWriter^ writer ) override
   {
      // Access Browser details through the Browser property.
      Version^ jScriptVersion = Browser->JScriptVersion;
      
      // Test if the browser supports Javascript.
      if ( jScriptVersion != nullptr )
      {
         // Render JavaScript-aware markup.
      }
      else
      {
         // Render scriptless markup.
      }
   }
};

using System;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.Adapters;

public class CustomControlAdapter : ControlAdapter
{
    protected override void Render( HtmlTextWriter writer )
    {
        // Access Browser details through the Browser property.
        Version jScriptVersion = Browser.JScriptVersion;

        // Test if the browser supports Javascript.
        if (jScriptVersion != null)
        {
            // Render JavaScript-aware markup.
        }
        else
        {
            // Render scriptless markup.
        }
    }
}

    Protected Overrides Sub Render(ByVal writer As HtmlTextWriter)

        ' Access Browser details through the Browser property.
        Dim jScriptVersion As Version = Browser.jScriptVersion

        ' Test if the browser supports Javascript.
        If Not (jScriptVersion Is Nothing) Then
            ' Render JavaScript-aware markup.

Remarks

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.
