Remarks

This class lets your application treat requests as if they were coming from a different browser (user agent) than the one that the user actually made the request from. You invoke the methods of this class using the current page context, as in the following example:

Context.SetOverriddenBrowser(BrowserOverride.Mobile)

Because you invoke the methods from the current context, you do not have to pass the context to those methods when the method expects it.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
