<%@ page language="C#"%>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<script runat="server">
    void Page_Load(Object Sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        CheckBrowserCaps();
    }

    void CheckBrowserCaps()
    {
        String labelText = "";
        System.Web.HttpBrowserCapabilities myBrowserCaps = Request.Browser;
        if (((System.Web.Configuration.HttpCapabilitiesBase)myBrowserCaps).RequiresContentTypeMetaTag)
        {
            labelText = "Browser requires an HTML META element whose CONTENT-TYPE attribute is specified.";
        }
        else
        {
            labelText = "Browser does not require an HTML META element whose CONTENT-TYPE attribute is specified.";
        }

        Label1.Text = labelText;
    }
</script>

            labelText = "Browser does not require an HTML META element whose CONTENT-TYPE attribute is specified."

    <title>Browser Capabilities Sample</title>

    <form runat="server" id="form1">

            <p/><asp:Label ID="Label1" Runat="server" />
        </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

Remarks

If true, server-control adapters insert the following tag into the HTML <head> element of a Web page:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="CONTENT-TYPE" CONTENT=""; CHARSET="">

In this example, CONTENT is the value returned by the PreferredRenderingMime property, and charset is the character encoding used.
