    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!

    That is correct... and I think it needs to be VB 2005 or later, as "My" is relatively new.
