DotNetBrowser

Note: Advice in this article will only work for DotNetBrowser 1.
See the corresponding article for DotNetBrowser 2 here.

Up to version 1.11.1:

The user-agent string can be modified only once, before you create any Browser instances. You can provide your own user-agent string using the BrowserPreferences.SetUserAgent(String userAgent) method:

C#

BrowserPreferences.SetUserAgent("My User Agent String");

VB.NET

BrowserPreferences.SetUserAgent("My User Agent String")

From version 1.12:

The user-agent string can be modified during runtime. You can set your own user-agent string or get it using the Browser.UserAgent property:

C#

Browser browser = BrowserFactory.Create();
browser.UserAgent = "Modified User Agent String";
string currentUserAgentString = browser.UserAgent;

VB.NET

Dim browser As Browser = BrowserFactory.Create()
browser.UserAgent = "Modified User Agent String"
Dim currentUserAgentString As String = browser.UserAgent
