I am trying to redirect mobile browsers to a test page by inserting the redirect script in the header part of a page like so:

if (Request.Browser["IsMobileDevice"] == "true" )
{
    Response.Redirect("http://www.mobile.aspx");
}

-Is this the best way of doing it?
Or should I list all browser types?
Do I need to nest this code in < script> tags?

thanks.

Thanks for the reply,

I'm not sure of the benefit of EasyDNNMobileRedirect - isn't it just like inserting a redirect into a Text/HTML module and applying to all pages?

As for MobiNuke - it was claimed by some to be unreliable, with bugs and lack of support:

- not sure if this is still the case though?

Like with anything else, these are common "build or buy" questions that you really need to consider before committing to a path.  It sounds to me that you might be better off building on your own.  In my opinion, this would be best built as a module with an HttpModule back-end.  The module portion would allow you to set configuration options, and the HttpModule portion would handle any redirects.  However, you may want to also consider project requirements for customizing the user experience based on the User Agent.  This is something that could be accomplished through some clever skinning methods.

I'd suggest trying out MobiNuke first and shooting a quick support question to them.  In the end, you might spend around $100 with them - but your man hours would be much more than that if you build this yourself.
