How to add meta tag to a content place holder page in asp.net?

I want to force IE mode to 7 while rendering in IE 11 browser. Able to do so by putting under the head tag for a separate aspx page. But I want to do so for a single content place holder page.

<pre lang="HTML"><meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7" /></pre>

You mean to use it in Master Page ? Can you explain a bit more?

I would use an HTML condition statement. It might work!

If you want to add custom tags to the page header from a content page, you just need to add another ContentPlaceholder in the correct position:

Master page:

<%@ Master Language="C#" %>
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head runat="server">
    ...
    <asp:ContentPlaceholder id="HeaderContent" runat="server" />
    ...
</head>
<body>
    ...
    <asp:ContentPlaceholder id="MainContent" runat="server" />
    ...
</body>
</html>

Content page:

<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/YourMasterPage.master" %>

<asp:Content runat="server" ContentPlaceholderID="HeaderContent">
    Extra headers here...
</asp:Content>

<asp:Content runat="server" ContentPlaceholderID="MainContent">
    Page content here...
</asp:Content>

However, there's no need to do that in this case. Any <meta http-equiv... tag is a substitute for a response header. All you really need to do is add the header from the code-behind of your content page:

C#

public partial class YourPage : Page
{
    public void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Response.AppendHeader("X-UA-Compatible", "IE=7");
    }
}
