The HTTP_USER_AGENT string will contain all versions present on the machine.
And when there is a new version of the CLR... 1. The ClrVersion property on HttpBrowserCapabilities will hand back the latest version. 2. There will be a method on the browser capabilities object to get back a collection of versions as well (so you won't have to deal with parsing the string yourself) Nikhil Kothari ASP.NET Development -----Original Message----- From: Erick Thompson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 03, 2002 2:10 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [DOTNET] Detecting DotNet from the browser So what is going to happen when the next version of the CLR comes out? Because we can have side by side execution, the HTTP_USER_AGENT string is going to get ugly. Or, will it only show the latest version installed? Same question on the HttpBrowserCapabilities object.

If you follow this Amazon link [1], for example, it will tell you what version of the CLR you have installed (at least it does on my machine) . . . Not sure how they get it though. . Note, this is an intentionally bad link that will bring up Amazon's a page claiming the browser has a bug. . . [1] - http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-form/103-4291205-3783066 Jacob A.
