Get OS version in C# the easy way

Hi, today im going to show you the easy way to get the OS version in C#. So Fire up Visual Studio and select new Console application project and Name in GetOSVersion.

•  Add a reference to Microsoft.VisualBasic assembly.
• Add Namespace

  //Import Namespace
  using Microsoft.VisualBasic.Devices;

• Add below code in program class

          static void Main(string[] args)
          {
              //Create a new instance of computer class
              Computer com = new Computer();
              Console.WriteLine("OS Name: " + com.Info.OSFullName);
              Console.WriteLine("OS Version: " + com.Info.OSVersion);
              Console.WriteLine("OS Platform: " + com.Info.OSPlatform);
              Console.ReadLine();
           }
  
  

• Done. :)

Below is full code of program class.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
//Import Namespace
using Microsoft.VisualBasic.Devices;
namespace GetOSVersion
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            //Create a new instance of computer class
            Computer com = new Computer();
            Console.WriteLine("OS Name: " + com.Info.OSFullName);
            Console.WriteLine("OS Version: " + com.Info.OSVersion);
            Console.WriteLine("OS Platform: " + com.Info.OSPlatform);
            Console.ReadLine();
