Provides a uniform way to evaluate device capabilities. This method is used internally by ASP.NET to implement various device-selection criteria expressed in the syntax of the controls. For example, this method is used to choose among <Choice> Element (.NET Framework Developer's Guide) elements in a DeviceSpecific/Choice construct. This API is obsolete. For information about how to develop ASP.NET mobile applications, see Mobile Apps & Sites with ASP.NET.
public:
bool HasCapability(System::String ^ delegateName, System::String ^ optionalParameter);public bool HasCapability (string delegateName, string optionalParameter);member this.HasCapability : string * string -> boolPublic Function HasCapability (delegateName As String, optionalParameter As String) As BooleanParameters
- delegateName
- String
The device evaluation method, property name, or item in the capabilities collection.
- optionalParameter
- String
The optional argument.
Returns
true if the device has the specified capability; otherwise, false.
Exceptions
A capabilityName parameter is not found as a device-filter name specified in the configuration file, as a MobileCapabilities property, or as an item in the MobileCapabilities Item collection.
delegateName is null or empty.
Remarks
Applications can use the HasCapability method programmatically when they gather device-specific information. If the capabilityName parameter specifies a device evaluation method, the optionalArgument parameter is passed to this method. If the capabilityName parameter specifies a property name or item in the capabilities dictionary, the HasCapability method checks whether the property or item is equal to the optionalArgument parameter.
