Hi,

I'm developing a control that inherits WebControl and overrides the =
Render
method. Depending on the capabilities of the browser I would like to =
output
different stuff to the HTMLTextWriter. I've tried to use the
Page.Request.Browser object, but the use of the Request object in =
design
time seem to cause an exception. I draw this conclusion based on that =
the
control is only rendered correctly when I refrain from accessing the =
Request
object. The control is always rendered correctly at run-time. Can I not =
use
the Request/Browser object in the Render method? I thought that one of =
the
purposes of the Browser object was to decide what to send to the =
client. Am
I missing something here?

Any enlightenment appreciated

Regards,

Anders,

You just need to test for Page and Page.Request before accessing the =
Browser object. This will ensure that you access it only at runtime. =
For example:

Page page =3D Page;
if (page =3D=3D null || page.Request =3D=3D null) {
return;
}

// now check the browser capabilities ...

hth,
Susan
