My.Computer.Information.OSFullName

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

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

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.
