Global detect browser and show different view in ASP.NET MVC 3

I have an ASP.NET MVC 3 application that I want to detect what browser the user is using globally so for example if they visit: app.com/login or app.com/organisations etc the check will still happen.

What file would I be best putting such code in? The code should check if their browser is a certain version and if so then load a different view and layout.

so e.g.

if(browser is ie < 9)

return ('chromeFrame');

elseif (browser is ff < 4 etc)

return ('upgradeBrowser');

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

To clarify this wouldn't be a redirect rather calling different views and layout if the browser isn't correct so the url wouldn't change and it would happen on any url!

One way to do this would be using HttpBrowserCapabilities that is exposed on the Request as Request.Browser.

Be mindful however that the .browser file that is used to identify browser capabilities may not be updated as frequently as new browser versions are released.
