Request.Browser.MajorVersion returns wrong version

Roger Twomey

I have an application that checks for browser, version and active X enabled.

It uses the result for a simple if then.

The issue I have is that Request.Browser.MajorVersion is returning the
wrong value. I was not getting the result I wanted (no IE browser was
version >= 5) even when the browser was version 6. I tried from 2 machines,
both running IE 6 with all patches installed.

For some reason Request.Browser.MajorVersion returns this as Major Version
4. All other values are correct (IE: and Active X enabled).

Is there a setting somewhere in the project which could make this return the
wrong value?

(I was wondering about browser compatibility settings, where they are and if
they could do this?)

The actual line is:

If (Request.Browser.Browser.ToUpper().IndexOf("IE") >= 0 And
Request.Browser.MajorVersion >= 5 And Request.Browser.ActiveXControls =
True) Then

Thanks.
