BrowserCaps config file

[txmed]

Greetings. I am trying to configure a web app to detect if any web crawlers are accessing my site. I've created a BrowserCaps.config file that has only 1 browser (for now). I then modified my Web.config file to link to the BrowserCaps.config file.

Web.config file:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<configuration>
	<system.web>
    <browserCaps configSource="BrowserCaps.config" />
    <compilation debug="true"/>
    <authentication mode="Windows"/>
  </system.web> 
</configuration>

BrowserCaps.config file:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<browserCaps>
  <browsers>
    <browser id="GenericDownlevel" parentID="Default">
      <identification>
        <userAgent match="^Generic Downlevel$" />
      </identification>
      <capture>
      </capture>
      <capabilities>
        <capability name="cookies"                     value="false" />
        <capability name="ecmascriptversion"           value="1.0" />
        <capability name="tables"                      value="true" />
        <capability name="type"                        value="Downlevel" />
      </capabilities>
      <controlAdapters>
        <adapter controlType="System.Web.UI.WebControls.Menu"
        adapterType="System.Web.UI.WebControls.Adapters.MenuAdapter" />
      </controlAdapters>
    </browser>
  </browsers>      
</browserCaps>

When I run the application I get this error message:
Parser Error Message: Server found the unknown tag <browsers> in capabilities configuration.

The line <browsers> in the BrowserCaps.config is highlighted in red.

Can someone please look at this and let me know what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,

I haven't used this feature before, but the first result of a google search returned the MSDN page. your configs don't look anything like the MSDN configs. The highlighted note also says this should be in a .browser file, not the web.config.

jmeckley,

Thank you for your prompt reply. I did find that MSDN page and I worked on it for a while but I could not get it to work. I'll continue trying.

In the meantime, does anyone else know what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,
