Visual Studio 2012 Tips Part 6 – Browse Web App With IE (No Add-Ons)

Fallback Image

Programming ASP.NET using visual C sharpThe last two weeks I have been developing an application that creates Sales Orders from a web interface. The application is used to return damaged watches and sunglasses to the repair centre.

It creates a Sales Order entry in SYSPRO and makes use of various custom fields to store data not available in SYSPRO. The application wasn’t very complicated, but did take a few days to complete.

During this development, I came across a nice quick tip (see reference below) when browsing ASP.NET pages in Visual Studio that allows you to specify that you need to browse with a Browser (IE in this case) sans the add-ons. I wanted to share this here.

When you create a Web Application, select to browse a page with a specific Browser.

Visual Studio 2012 Browse With Option

The ‘Browse  With – ‘ dialogue box is displayed.

Click on the ‘Add’ button.

Visual Studio 2012 ASP.NET Browse With Add Program

Browse to Internet Explorer and enter ‘-extoff’ in the Arguments field.

Visual Studio 2012 ASP.NET Add Program Arguments

After you click OK, you will have the option to browse the Web Page with Internet Explorer without any add-ons.

I hope that somewhere someone might find this useful.
