Using Javascript if else inside MVC .cshtml page

Is there a way to use if else statment inside MVC cshtml page

 <div class="primary-content">
            if(DetectIE())
            {
            <embed data-bind="attr: { src: data.files()[currentPage()] + '#toolbar=0&amp;navpanes=0&amp;scrollbar=0' }" type="application/pdf" style="width: 100%; height: 800px !important;">
            }
            else
            {
            <object data-bind="attr: { data: data.files()[currentPage()] + '#toolbar=0&amp;navpanes=0&amp;scrollbar=0' }" type="application/pdf" width="100%" height="600px"></object>
            }
        </div>

I have a javascript code to detect if the current browser is Internet explorer or not . If it is a IE then <embed> tag is used otherwise <object> tag is used.

Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance
