Running IE8+ on WebBrowser control in C#?

Question

I was trying to run webbrowser control and I found that by default it is using IE7 and I tried different fixes like editing registry values or others- none of which worked. I am using .net framework 4.0 and wondering how still the control is stuck with IE7? How can I update the control so that it will be using IE8+ instead of IE7? Anyone, please help with info

Thanks in advance

Those fixes are not working anymore and I already tried those. — Masud Rahman, Jun 27 '12 at 18:43

Add the following on the line after you open the head

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" />

This will render as IE if installed on the client machine. Alternatively you can use

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge" />

to render in the highest available IE on the clients machine. If the HTML isn't your own (external) perhaps you could use a pre-load event to add the line to the HTML
