ASP.NET fails to detect internet explorer 10 – The patches


We all know about the bug in .net 2 and .net4 browser definition files that prevents it from recognising certain browser types (namely IE10)

There are hotfixes available for this, but not via Microsoft update – you have to request them and the link is emailed to you.

This is an easy enough process and can be requested from:


.NET 2.0

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2600100 - for Win7 SP1/Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, Windows Vista/Server 2008, Windows XP/Server 2003

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2608565 - for Win7/Windows Server 2008 R2 RTM
 

Or, if you run Server 2008 R2 SP1, here are the direct download links to save time:
