What's the substitute for ASP.NET Mobile Device Browser File?

Scotty did talk about it http://www.hanselman.com/blog/MixMobileWebSitesWithASPNETMVCAndTheMobileBrowserDefinitionFile.aspx and now it'll be gone ? http://mdbf.codeplex.com/ This project is no longer supported and will be removed on October 29, 2010

What's the substitute then ? my question is rather why it is abandonned.

Nobody knows ?

Update: weird now the whole codeplex project has been deleted whereas when I asked the question there was content and source code !

This project is not yet published If you are a coordinator or developer on this project, please sign in to access the project.

Is this any help for you? It does target .NET 4.0, not sure if that is an issue for you.

I would say the replacement is Mobile Device Detection and Redirection found here: http://51degrees.codeplex.com/

I used it for my ASP.NET Web Forms application and it worked great. Like MDBF, it makes the Request.Browser.IsMobileDevice property and other related properties more accurate.

It was very simple to add to my project. I added the files wurfl.xml.gz and web_browsers_patch.xml to the App_Data folder and added an http module and related configuration settings to the web.config.
