Hi,

How can I compare between the operating system if it's win XP or less, then do some code, else if its win 7 do another code?

I know there is platform like this::
my.computer.operating system name or platform .getinfo

But how to do the first condition?

I hope you can help :-O

Solution 1

Use the Version Class[^] to check which OS you are on.

Sorry, CodeProject stopped responding before I was able to amend my answer to the OperatingSystem[^] class.

Richard, you may be mixed up some things. This class per se does not help you to get OS information; you need Environment -- see my answer.

Sure, then my 5.

Solution 2

Use System.Environment class, the property Environment.OSVersion:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.environment.aspx[^]

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.environment.osversion.aspx[^]

Basically, you do this:

C#

System.OperatingSystem os = System.Environment.OSVersion;

and learn what you need from os.

Yes, the system went down before I was able to correct my answer; see my update.

Additionally add this: VerCheck = System.Environment.OSVersion.Version.Major... Have my 5.
