Hi I am using Windows Presentation Foundation with .NET in MS Visual Studio 2010 Professional and I am embedding a web page into my application using a WebBrowser object, however it seems that the WebBrowser is using some old version of the Internet Explorer and I really need it to be using the latest Internet Explorer installed on the user's computer.
How to make .NET use the latest Explorer?
You can set the rendering mode by setting a registry key value for your app.
This may be of some help...

How can I automate testing of a non-automation enabled desktop application using Appium, WinAppDriver, Visual Studio, and C#? The application is not showing any XPath or other identifying elements. Are there any techniques or methods that I can use to enable automation support for the application and allow me to perform automation testing?
I am using Appium version 1.17, WinAppDriver version 0.7, Visual Studio 2019 and C# to try to automate testing of a custom built non-automation enabled desktop application. The application is a accounting software with custom functionality.
I have tried to locate identifying elements or XPath of the application by using inspect.exe but it did not find any xpath or identifying elements. I also tried to enable the automation support but it was not successful and the application was not responding.
I am getting the error "element not found" when trying to interact with the application using Appium and WinAppDriver.
Any suggestions to automate this application using the above mentioned tools would be highly appreciated.
I personally use appium inspector that you can find going to this link.

You will need appium server running to get this working.
I created one Application for IE9. when that application launch on IE9 at that time I want to disable specific Addon of IE9 using c# or using Add-in Express. how can I get control over that?
Thanks in advance
The IE object model doesn't provide such a possibility. Moreover, when you disable an add-on in IE, you need to restart the browser. Otherwise, the add-on is still running.
I'm working on an activeX component of a web application with Visual Studio 2008 in Windows 7 and IE9. I have a method to test it so that i don't have to deploy it to the Web server to check whether it is working or not.
However, recently I noticed that IE9 has been using an unreleased version of the ActiveX component. I kept building and updating codes here and there, and apparently IE is grabbing that build version which is unreleased yet. The released version is available on the webserver, while the one i'm testing is not released yet as it is still incomplete.
Can anyone tell me how to prevent this from happening?
I am developing a Microsoft Surface 2.0 application using Visual C# 2010 Express Edition. I have already installed the Surface 2.0 SDK and Runtime Environment on a Windows 7 (32 bit).
From the installed templates, I choose a new Surface WPF application and press F5. I get an InvalidOperationException with the following message -
Cannot load Counter Name data because an invalid index 'Terminal
Services' was read from the registry.
The project is empty. I haven't added a single line of code yet. The same blank application works perfectly well on another desktop running Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate.
I would try here first: PerformanceCounters on .NET 4.0 & Windows 7
Most likely the performance counters are not loading in the registry, or at least not loaded properly. I know the question is different, but the symptoms are the same.
Run lodctr.exe /r it will repair registry entries related to the perfmon counters.
I am working on a C# application which uses an embedded WebBrowser control to display some HTML content. I want to test whether installing IE9 http://windows.microsoft.com/ie9 will effect my application.
The MSDN blog http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2008/03/18/webbrowser-control-rendering-modes-in-ie8.aspx states that the WebBrowser control defaults to IE7 rendering. However, I want to know what binary is actually being used to do the IE7 rendering.
I think the WebBrowser control could be packaged with:
the version of IE included with Windows (e.g. IE8 with Windows 7)
the newest version of IE installed in Windows (e.g. IE9)
the .NET runtime, my application uses .NET 2.0
Visual Studio, my application is built using VS2008
Which of these is correct?
The .net winforms webbrowser is just a wrapper for MSIE's own browser control (in shdocvw.dll). If you have IE8 installed, it uses IE8. If you have IE9 installed it uses IE9. For some silly reason they decided to have it fall back to IE7 rendering mode.
You can override that with a meta tag in the page header, or with a registry key. See MSIEs WebBrowser control hosted in winforms app runs in compatibility mode
