ASP.NET - Detecting whether the request came from ipad or not

Dec 27 2011 10:46AM by Ramireddy

In my previous post, I showed how to find whether the request came from Mobile or PC. But later my requirement is extended to find whether the request came from IPAD or not also. For this. We can use Request.UserAgent, If it has the word "ipad", it means request came from IPAD.

if (HttpContext.Current.Request.UserAgent.ToLower().Contains("ipad"))
            DeviceInfo = "IPAD";
