Question

In a .NET 2.0 C# application I use the following code to detect the operating system platform:

string os_platform = System.Environment.OSVersion.Platform.ToS         


        

Answer 1

OSInfo.Bits

using System;
namespace CSharp411
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main( string[] args )
        {
           Console.WriteLine( "Operation System Information" );
           Console.WriteLine( "----------------------------" );
           Console.WriteLine( "Name = {0}", OSInfo.Name );
           Console.WriteLine( "Edition = {0}", OSInfo.Edition );
           Console.WriteLine( "Service Pack = {0}", OSInfo.ServicePack );
           Console.WriteLine( "Version = {0}", OSInfo.VersionString );
           Console.WriteLine( "Bits = {0}", OSInfo.Bits );
           Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}
