XAML WebBrowser emulation without registry change

Question

I am trying to render some HTML page of mine hosted on a NodeJS in a WPF app.

I have tried few things and the following option seems the most convenient: C# webbrowser Ajax call

However it is modifying the registry which I cannot (company policy).

Therefore would there be a way to do the same on the fly? ie. load the WebBrowser with this setup without updating the registry?

Thank you

I am afraid not. There is no property or method of the WebBrowser control itself that you can set or call.

Changing the registry keys or use another (third-party) control are your only options I would say.

I see, thanks for the answer. Will have to go for a third-party tool then. – goul Dec 04 '17 at 23:45
Note: rendering the page works well. However javascript calls are still throwing an error so afraid I will have to go for the registry update anyway – goul Dec 11 '17 at 05:50

You might be able to do this with the XUA compatible meta tag.

<meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="IE=11">

I don't know if you have access to the site's content or not. If you do, then just put in right there in the HTML.

If you do not own the page, there are ways modify the page and dynamically inject this tag with a bit of com interop from mshtml.
