Question

I want to check what type of operating system i use and what kind of processor. this should be check on run time. i tried using

System.Environment.GetEnvironment         


        

Answer 1

To determine the operating system use this code:

string OPSystemVersion = Environment.OSVersion.ToString();

To determine the CPU name and type first add System.Management reference to your project, then you can use this code:

public static string SendBackProcessorName()
        {
            ManagementObjectSearcher mosProcessor = new ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT * FROM Win32_Processor");
            string Procname = null;

            foreach (ManagementObject moProcessor in mosProcessor.Get())
            {
                if (moProcessor["name"] != null)
                {
                    Procname = moProcessor["name"].ToString();

                }

            }

            return Procname;
        }
