The MobileCapabilities class extends the System.Web.HttpBrowserCapabilities class with a large number of strongly typed read-only properties that provide information about the capabilities of the client browser. Most of these properties are Boolean (like the various "Supports," "Requires," and "Renders" properties), although some map to simple strings. Examples of the latter include Browser (which might return "Pocket IE," "Microsoft Explorer," "Nokia," "Phone.com," "Ericsson," or "i-mode") and PreferredRenderingMime (which indicates the device's desired MIME type, like "text/html"). ASP.NET automatically examines some of these properties to customize the output it renders.

To access a MobileCapabilities for the current client, examine the System.Web.HttpRequest.Browser property. You will need to cast the object to the MobileCapabilities type.
