How to get user Browser name ( user-agent ) in Asp.net Core?

Question

Can you please let me know how to get the browser\'s name that the client is using in MVC 6, ASP.NET 5?

Answer 1

I have developed a library to extend ASP.NET Core to support web client browser information detection at Wangkanai.Detection This should let you identity the browser name.

namespace Wangkanai.Detection
{
    /// 

    /// Provides the APIs for query client access device.
    /// 
    public class DetectionService : IDetectionService
    {
        public HttpContext Context { get; }
        public IUserAgent UserAgent { get; }

        public DetectionService(IServiceProvider services)
        {
            if (services == null) throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(services));

            this.Context = services.GetRequiredService().HttpContext;
            this.UserAgent = CreateUserAgent(this.Context);
        }

        private IUserAgent CreateUserAgent(HttpContext context)
        {
            if (context == null) throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(Context)); 

            return new UserAgent(Context.Request.Headers["User-Agent"].FirstOrDefault());
        }
    }
}
