c# - How can i detect if the request is coming from a mobile browser in my asp.net MVC 3

Question

what i am trying to achieve is simple; Among all the view which i have in my web application, i have only two razor views that i have created a mobile version for them. so i need to redirect the users to these views if they are accessing the application from their mobile devices. i tried the following on the controller level but it did not redirect the users when i run my test on different mobile devices :-

if (Request.Browser.IsMobileDevice)
            {
                return View("MobileStudentStartAssessment");
            }
            else {
                return View("StudentStartAssessment");
            }

So is there another approach that i can follow which can detect most of the mobile devices? Thanks

You can use the Request.Browser.IsMobileDevice property.
