I want to use IE8 as a WebBrowser control in a C# application. How can I disable "quirks mode" and force IE into standards compliance (as far as it is implemented)?

If you don't want to use the registry key technique, you could insert the following tag:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" />

The "content" attribute forces rendering in various modes.
