How to Detect new Microsoft browser “Edge” in asp.net

As Joey mentioned, the User Agent string is what you want to look at. The properties of Request.Browser don't contain anything specific to Edge, but you can get the user agent string with HttpContext.Current.Request.UserAgent and use .IndexOf("Edge") to search it.
