This is a sample Web.config file with several device specific filters.

Remarks

If this property is programmatically set, it is not persisted unless the property is set dynamically on each request. If the property is set declaratively, the property is set on each request. There is no default.

Since different devices have different requirements for styles. You may want several DeviceSpecific settings for the CommandStyle property.
