IE11 compatibility mode off doPostBack and PageRequestManager undefined

There seem to be a bug in the browser definition files that came with .NET 2.0 and .NET 4.

This issue can be fixed by installing following hot fix for .net framework 4.0.

If you are deploying the asp.net application this should be installed in the machine where the application is deployed.

ASP.Net load Browser specific CSS

When developing Webpages you might have come across browser specific styling issues.
When dealing with IE related CSS issues conditional statements can be used as displayed below.

< !--[if IE]>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"

href="ie-specific.css" />
<![endif]-->

There will be situations where you will want to

target on different browser.

 E.g. Chrome, firefox

The code given below can be used to check the

browser type and load the

CSS programatically.

 Dim Browser As HttpBrowserCapabilities = Request.Browser
        'Attach a CSS style sheet accordingly  
 Dim cs As ClientScriptManager = Nothing

If Browser.Type.StartsWith("IE") Then 'Target All IE
     cs = Page.ClientScript
     cs.RegisterClientScriptBlock(Me.GetType(), "CSSLink", "")
ElseIf Browser.Type = "Firefox" Then 'Actual version of the

                                 ' browser can be specified

     cs = Page.ClientScript
    cs.RegisterClientScriptBlock(Me.GetType(), "CSSLink", "")
 End If
