[HELP]Get your OS Version, Vb2008[Solved]

Hello,
i just wonna ask is it possible to make app in vb what detects your OS?

I'm way too tired to write it out myself right now and I knew there would be faster results from google so here's a link. It has all you need:

Enjoy.

My.Computer.Information.OSFullName

Thanks Blub!

Easy Method is to create a function.

[highlight=vbnet]
Public Function GetWinVer() As String
Return Environment.OSVersion.ToString
End Function
[/highlight]

You can use this any way you like because the function will return the OS Version.

Examples

[highlight=vbnet]
Msgbox (GetWinVer())
[/highlight]

[highlight=vbnet]
Textbox1.Text = GetWinVer()
[/highlight]

[highlight=vbnet]
Label1.Text = GetWinVer()
[/highlight]

That also working!
thanks guys!

I would suggest going for OSFullName. His decision

I'm not exactly sure what Version returns so

.

Mark this as solved...

No problem, I just prefer a function. This way you don't need to call the same one line every time you want to use it.

Just create a short function name, like OS or GetOs or W/e.

@ Blubb, Yes it will

If he wants 'Friendly Version Name' then same idea

[highlight=vbnet]
Public Function GetWinVer() As String
Return My.Computer.Info.OSFullName
End Function
[/highlight]

Info Btw.

6.1 is win 7
6.0 is vista
5.# is either XP or NT

Sometimes you relay pointless information, seeing as a alternative and solution was already offered.

I dunno I like using numbers then converting it to text, but that's me...

thanks for making this thread lol i might use these codes.
