OK, I wasn't quite right. However...the .Net framework relies on what the browser returns to determine what browser is being used. That's what the browser definition files are for. IE11 changed the user agent string, which could affect how the framework determines which browser is being used, especially if you don't have updated browser definition files.

But... you shouldn't use browser sniffing to determine what browser is being used. See http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ieinternals/archive/2013/09/21/internet-explorer-11-user-agent-string-ua-string-sniffing-compatibility-with-gecko-webkit.aspx

>>>At first, I had IE. That used to work for a few years. Then, I discovered the value returned was InternetExplorer. So, I adjusted for that. I assumed something got changed in the .NET Framework in the way this is now returned. But, actually, this is coming from the browser information and .NET Framework simply use that as is. So, I had to add IE back in there. Basically, it seems the longer word is returned from recent version of Internet Explorer only. Can someone confirm that?
