my web page is running in chrome or not?

Question

How can i check whether the webpage is running in Chrome or not? if not alert the user that you are not running in chrome:

the scenario will be like this:

IF webPage is not running in Firefox then
msgbox("You are not running in chrom")
End if

Can any one help me to do like this? am using Asp.Net with VB

You will have to use javascript to do that, raising message box on server makes no sense. Look at this answer http://stackoverflow.com/a/13348618/351383 — Antonio Bakula, Oct 09 '14 at 09:38
Do you want to detect this in `webform` or `windowsform`? If `webform`, then `msgbox` , is not the write way to do. — Arindam Nayak, Oct 09 '14 at 09:43

You'll want to check the value of HttpRequest.UserAgent - the contents of this can vary wildly across browsers (here's a few examples), but in general a Chrome user agent will contain a part like Chrome/37.0.2062.124

So in your .aspx page, you could have something like this:

<% If Not HttpRequest.UserAgent.Contains("Chrome/") Then %>
  <script type="text/javascript">alert("You are not using the Chrome browser");</script>
<% End If %>

(I put the <% %> in because this doesn't go in the .aspx.vb backend page)
