Recording User Agent string in XForms

Hi all

I'm trying to record the user agent string in an xform and gettin git to include it in the generated email. So far I am trying this

        public void control_BeforeSubmitPostedData(object sender, SaveFormDataEventArgs e)
        {
            var formData = e.FormData;
            formData.SetValue("User Agent", Request.UserAgent);
        }

in global.asax.cs. Unfortunately the Request object isn't valid in this context so I'm stuck at this point

My only other thoughts are

1. Some javascript to squirt in a hidden field into form with user agent and let it submit. Seems like it would be very fragile

2. Get the xform to redirect to a custom url and generate the email manually. Mmm - that doesn't sound good

3. Declare it impossible

I'd be grateful for any thoughts or advice

Many Thanks

HttpContext.Current.Request.UserAgent should work in that context.
