How to create a Windows Version Snippet by 4thBattalion
Hello everyone, I will be teaching you how to create a Windows Version Snippet, this will be a small tutorial, and mostly for beginners. Windows Version Snippet means the version of your computer. For example:
Microsoft® Windows Vista™ Home Premium
6.75.6765.6553 <------Fake number for security purposes
Let's get started. First you want to create a new Windows Form Application, and you can name it whatever you want. Then, create a button.(Recommended)
Double-Click the button or the Tool used to show the user.
Enter in this code:
Code:
Dim osVersion As String
osVersion = My.Computer.Info.OSVersion
The osVersion is the Version of your computer, like 6.0.6001.65536.
Then, enter this right below it, in the same button/tool code editor:
Code:
Dim osName As String
osName = My.Computer.Info.OSFullName
MsgBox(osName & vbCr & osVersion)
The osName is the name of your computer, like Vista, XP, 98.
The information provided will appear in the message box, as shown in the code.
Thank-you for viewing this tutorial, hope it helped!

Using VB.Net...??? :confused:
Re: Tutorial: How to create a Windows Version Snippet
That is correct... and I think it needs to be VB 2005 or later, as "My" is relatively new.
