One way would be to use the HttpBrowserCapabilities class. It has a Browser property which should contain information on the browser being used.

Be aware that some browsers have the ability to fake the UserAgent string and lie about which browser they are. You would be better of if possible modifying your code to work with all browsers or providing alternative methods for non-IE users, of which there are many.

You can get the user agent string with this:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_USER_AGENT")
Also, I'm moving this thread to the ASP.NET forum.

You can also use the Request.Browser Object to discover information about the client's web browser.
