clientTarget = clientTargets[0];

// Get the alias.
alias = clientTarget.Alias;

msg = String.Format(
      "Alias:      {0}\n",
      alias);

' Get the first client target 
' in the collection.
clientTarget = clientTargets(0)

' Get the alias.
aliasStr = clientTarget.Alias

msg = String.Format( _
"Alias:      {0}" + ControlChars.Lf, aliasStr)

Remarks

The Alias property refers to the alias attribute of the add element in the clientTarget section of the configuration file.

The ASP.NET configuration defaults include the following aliases:

• uplevel, which tells ASP.NET to send HTML and ECMAScript that is supported by Internet Explorer 6.0 and later versions.

• downlevel, which tells ASP.NET to limit the HTML and script to the versions that are supported by browsers earlier than Internet Explorer 6.0.
