Hi
you can use HttpBrowserCapabilities to get this. 
HttpBrowserCapabilities browser = Request.Browser;

Response.Write(browser.Platform);

you can find out more information it supports.

here is the list of server variables
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/asp/request_server_variables.aspx
you can use
Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_HOST"].ToString();



Kind Regards,
Jay

@Awaisdar001,
Ur right ..
have a look at this below link..
http://dnohr.dk/aspnet/how-to-detect-browser-operating-system-os-with-aspnet
Update :
You can check if the OS version number is in the User agent. If you're looking in the example I did post above this text, you can see a Windows NT number, that's the number who indicate the specific Windows version. "Windows NT 5.1" means that this user is using Windows XP. To read complete article Click above link

@Awaisdar001,

<Request.UserAgent> is returning the following data.
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.9) Gecko/2009040821 Firefox/3.0.9

i need to get "WINDOWS XP"
Ok look, the above output u got is having browser and OS details like OS version number here in ur case Windows NT 5.1 it means Windows XP OS and Windows 6.1 means Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2

I hope now ur more clear on this..

Thanks & Regards,
