Change Internet Explorer (IE) document mode programmatically in web applications

I have come across a situation that render the IE browser mode with specific version. While browsing a solution I found below techniques that we can use to change the IE browser mode as follows;

This will workout if you are working on .NET based projects.

Solution 01
Add following code snippet within the head tag of the web page.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" >
</head>

Solution 02
Add following section under <system.webServer> in web.config file in your project. If there is no section exists in the config file, just create and add as bellows;

<system.webServer>
    <httpProtocol>
      <customHeaders>
        <clear />
        <add name="X-UA-Compatible" value="IE=8" />
      </customHeaders>
    </httpProtocol>
</system.webServer>

You can specify the Internet Explorer(IE) version by changing the value attribute.
