I am having a IE8 compatibility issue while using the WebBrowser control to navigate to a website. The strange thing is sometimes the website works, but more than likely it wont. I can refresh the page sometimes and it works as well.

Just going to the page in IE8 I experienced the same CSS rendering problems so I switched to compatibility mode and it refreshed and rendered correctly.

Is there a way to simulate this effect for the WebBrowser control. I want to be able to click a button and toggle the modes off and on like you can do in Internet Explorer.

Is this possible? If so, anyone know how?

Thanks

Would this post on IEBlog about WebBrowser rendering modes and IE8 help? Seems like you have to set the rendering mode specific to your application using a key in the registry.
