Determine which version of IE is installed on your OS in C #?

I am currently using a Windows service that programmatically generates HttpWebRequest and HttpWebResponse objects to receive a request response message.

The UserAgent property for HttpWebRequest was hardcoded to use IE 6 as a browser agent. Is there a way to programmatically determine which version of IE is installed on the server hosting the service?

It is currently hosted on a computer running Windows Server 2003 and can be installed on a computer running Windows Server 2008.

you can also extract it from the WebBrowser control itself if you created it:

 WebBrowser browser = new WebBrowser(); Version ver = browser.Version;

Warning: this must be called from the STA stream, otherwise it throws an exception. This can be seen in the MSTest code cleanup, which is an MTA, not an STA.

It looks like the user agent can be installed: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.httpwebrequest.useragent.aspx

I prefer the WebClient class these days, it is a wrapper for HttpWebRequest and allows you to do some things with less code: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.webclient.aspx
