What is a "Browser File" in Visual Studio 2008 and Why Do We Need It?

Question

When adding a new file on the VS 2008 website, I found something called a "Browser File". Does anyone know what it is, how to use it, and when to use it?

Answer 1

These are .browser files. Browser file schemas (browser element) (from MSDN documentation):

Browser definition files contain definitions for individual browsers. At run time, ASP.NET uses the information in the request header to determine what type of browser made the request. Then ASP.NET uses .browser to determine the capabilities of the browser, and how to render that browser.
