<filter> Element
Provides filtering capability for the MobileCapabilities class from within the <deviceFilters> section of the Web.config file. You specify a <filter> element within a <deviceFilters> section of the <system.web> section of the configuration file.
<system.web
<deviceFilters>
<filter
name="capability"
compare="capabilityName" />
<filter
name="capability"
type="className"
method="methodName" />
</deviceFilters>
</system.web>
Remarks
When creating a Web application that has device-specific content, you must add one or more filters in a <deviceFilter> section in the configuration file. Each filter specifies criteria against which target devices should be matched.
The device filter configuration provides an evaluation mechanism for two types of filters: a comparison-based filter and an evaluator delegate–based filter. The syntax specifies both types of filters. The first example shows the comparison-based filter, and the second example shows the evaluator delegate-based filter. For more information about creating filters in the configuration file, see Device-Specific Rendering.
Example
This example shows comparison-based and evaluator delegate-based filters.
<system.web
<deviceFilters>
<filter
name="isWML11"
compare="PreferredRenderingType"
argument="wml11" />
<filter name="GPSEnabled"
type="MyNamespace.MyCapabilityEvaluators, MyAssembly"
method="IsGPSEnabled"/>
</deviceFilters>
</system.web>
