Yes, it's a property of the Controller base class. See, I told you I freehand wrote that. :) Edited the post.

Don't you have to pass the httpcontext to IsMobileDevice in controller MyActionMethod?

Sure... I understand that, but that wasn't the point. As I started to elude to at the end, if you had to mock out a bunch of different things, including cookie values, user agent strings, etc., there's a lot more work to do. That implies that the work should have been handed off to something else, because the controller is doing too much work.

Nothing that a simple Mocks.Of<> can not solve :)

var context = Mock.Of<HttpContextBase>(h => h.Request.Browser.IsMobileDevice == true);

Assert.IsTrue(context.Request.Browser.IsMobileDevice)

That would be equivalent to "From all the mocks you can get from HttpContextBase, give me one where IsMobileDevice equals true". Moq will take care of that

There needs to be a way to upvote this post so it won't go away. This post helped me a lot when I was trying to figure out how to do a modal popup with pure CSS and raw JavaScript. To that effect, I owe Mr. Putz a Pizza!!!

There are a few strings for things like "less than a minute ago," but otherwise, it uses the standard formatting strings in .NET and should therefore format them according to the set locale.
