Hi All, I am working on a legacy asp.net application, the UI of the application is implemented using Component Art. This application works in only Internet Explorer with compatibility mode. Now we are able to launch this application on Edge browser by manually choosing the option Reload in Internet Explorer Mode.
But the clients are looking for a solution the application should directly launch in Edge browser without doing any settings manually. In all the aspx pages of the application the below tag is added. <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" /> Is there any tag/code can we write in webpages to launch the application work in the Edge browser with IE Mode. Thanks .

    The general solution here is to add the site to the list of IE-only sites. This is a group policy that can be applied to all computers or a subset as needed. This is the recommended approach such that once you have updated the app to work in Edge then the IT team can remove the configuration and users will suddenly be able to use Edge.

    You can find the steps here. Note that IE mode was/is a temporary solution so you're going to need to update your app before it is finally removed.

    This approach we are using since 2021, but the client does not want this way. When we reload the application in Internet Explorer mode, what is happening behind, can we add that changes in the application directly instead of doing it manually. Is there any tags or code that can we add to application so that it can directly work on edge with IE mode without doing any browser settings or IE mode site list . Thanks.
