title: ASP.Net Change Browser Mode for IE10
body: <p>In IE 10, if you check the developer tools, you can see that there are two modes for the browser:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Browser Mode </li>
  <li>Document Mode</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>By adding the tag below:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>One is able to force IE10 to render the page in IE9 document standards.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way that ASP.Net can force the browser to change the Browser Mode to use IE10 Compatibility View or any version lower?</p>
  
  <p>I have an application that seems to break down with IE10, but trying the app in IE10 Compatibility and IE lower versions Browser mode, the application works perfectly fine.</p>
  
  <p>Appreciate any help.</p>
  
  <p>Update:</p>
  
  <p>Posted screenshot of the browser mode and document mode.</p>
  
  <p>If I added the meta tags above, I get:</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/IVK94.png" alt="browser mode screen shot"></p>
  
  <p>Notice that the Document Mode is in IE9 mode as specified in the meta tag.</p>
  
  <p>But my application needs to change the Browser Mode (IE10) to something like IE10 Compatibility Mode or lower. Using the current IE10 mode, breaks the application.</p>
