I currently converted my website from classic asp to ASP.NET MVC, I’ll be putting it live in a few days. I’m now thinking that I should start supporting mobile device.

I was wondering if this could be a good idea to do things.

  • Have the same model
  • Have the same controller
  • Have two different view and chose the right one using Request.Browser.IsMobileDevice
  • One view for mobile display, one view for everything else.

This way I could keep the same URL.

Is this a good way of doing things?

    Scott Hanselman blogged about this. He illustrated an example of how you could build a custom view engine which depending on the user agent would render a view situated in a different folder. This way you could have the same Model and Controller but different views.

    And this functionality will be built-in out-of-the-box in ASP.NET MVC 4.
