  Different Adapters for different Browsers

  Nov 04, 2008 07:50 PM|LINK

  I'm using the CSSFriendly.MenuAdapter for all default browsers, but now we would like a different Adapter if the user access the page with an iPhone. I have a basic prototype of the new Adapter, but the problem is that if I had that to my .browser file, it does not recognize it. For testing, I just use the normal Safari. Here is the file:

    <browser refID="Safari">
      <controlAdapters>
        <adapter controlType="System.Web.UI.WebControls.Menu"
                 adapterType="Supertext.iUiMenuAdapter" />
      </controlAdapters>
    </browser>
  
    <browser refID="Default">
      <controlAdapters>
        <adapter controlType="System.Web.UI.WebControls.Menu"
                 adapterType="CSSFriendly.MenuAdapter" />
      </controlAdapters>
    </browser>

  The idea is that every browser, BUT Safari would use the Default setting. But Safari is using the Default Setting too. If I remove the Default setting, Safari does use my own Adapter and all other browsers just display the Standard Menu. How do I get this to work? I've tried a different sequence too.

  Never really got a response and couldn't find a solution either. So, please, if you know something, let me know.

  What I figured out is how you can just replace the Adapter in your code like this:

  protected override void OnPreInit(EventArgs e)
  {
      HttpContext.Current.Request.Browser.Adapters["System.Web.UI.WebControls.Menu, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"] = "Supertext.Adapters.iUiMenuAdapter";
      base.OnPreInit(e);
  }
  
  
  protected override void OnUnload(EventArgs e)
  {
      base.OnUnload(e);
  
  
      HttpContext.Current.Request.Browser.Adapters["System.Web.UI.WebControls.Menu, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"] = "CSSFriendly.MenuAdapter";
  }

   

  More on my blog post about this topic. Hope it helps someone.
