Is it possible, from within ASP.NET MVC, to route to different controllers or actions based on the accessing device/browser?
I'm thinking of setting up alternative actions and views for some parts of my website in case it is accessed from the iPhone, to optimize display and functionality of it. I don't want to create a completely separate project for the iPhone though as the majority of the site is fine on any device.
Any idea on how to do this?
Best bet would be a custom action filter.
All you have to do is inherit from ActionMethodSelectorAttribute, and override the IsValidRequest class.
public class [IphoneRequest] : ActionMethodSelectorAttribute
{
public override bool IsValidForRequest(ControllerContext controllerContext, System.Reflection.MethodInfo methodInfo)
{
// return true/false if device is iphone
Then in your controller
[IphoneRequest]
public ActionResult Index()
Mix: Mobile Web Sites with ASP.NET MVC and the Mobile Browser Definition File
Don't know if the above helps as I havn't watched it yet.
And this one;
