Weird problem. Im trying to write a function to determine what Browser and version clients are using.
Using HttpBrowserCapabilities
...pseudo code
Works fine on IE. Show "IE 6" or "IE 5.5"...etc.
Even works on Netscape 6.2. Shows "Netscape 6.2"
Heres the Problem. On versions of Netscape 7 or greater, it shows the version as 5.0
"Netscape 5.0"
Ive tested it with 3 newer version.
7.2, 8.0 and 8.1 They all show "5.0"
Even if I try to use the .Majorversion + .Minorversion. Same thing.
When I pull the server vars for HTTP_USER_AGENT for each browser type, I get this.
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20011019 Netscape6/6.2 (ax)
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040804 Netscape/7.2 (ax)
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20050603 Netscape/8.0.2
Note: The first one returns the correct version (6.2) in my .Net app, where the second and third are returning the Mozilla version (5.0)
Anyone have any ideas how I can resolve this?

Dim bc As HttpBrowserCapabilities
