Is there a way to detect currently installed IE version and decide if it is up to date?

I am trying to detect which version of IE an end-user has installed on their computer (My App uses WebBrowser control).

I need to know which version they are using which may not be as simple as 

WebBrowser.Version

it seems that although that gives the version it does not tell us if the browser is actually using that version or a compatible version.

Also, With the WebBrowser.Version in hand, how would I go about deciding if this is the latest version of IE?

Any ideas, pointers - if not - tell a joke or something!

Cheers

Does people still use the Webbrowser control when things like Gecko and Webkit exists?

Anyways you can use the windows registry. enter image description here

Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("Software\\Microsoft\\Internet Explorer").GetValue("Version")
