viewing request information

[fguihen]

is there an event in asp.net 1.1 thats triggered when a request for the page is recieved? i want to take info from this request ( browser type , location ) and what not.

Just add a global.asax file to your project. You can then hook the page request with something like:

void Application_BeginRequest(Object Sender, EventArgs e)
{
   if (HttpContext.Current != null)
   {
       HttpRequest request = HttpContext.Current.Request;
   }
}

You may also want to have a look at the IHttpModule interface. There's a lot of examples around online for it. You can do some cool stuff by injecting yourself into various parts of the Request/Response streams.
