Get the OS version
We can get the version of the OS by using the following code
Namespace Part
using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
Code part for get the version of the OS
public class OSVersion {
public static void Main() {
MyAPI.OSVERSIONINFO MyAPIinfo = new MyAPI.OSVERSIONINFO();
MyAPIinfo.dwOSVersionInfoSize = Marshal.SizeOf(MyAPIinfo);
bool MyBool = MyAPI.GetVersionEx(ref MyAPIinfo);
if (MyBool == false) {
Console.WriteLine("GetVersion failed");
}
Console.WriteLine("{0}.{1}.{2}",
MyAPIinfo.dwMajorVersion,
MyAPIinfo.dwMinorVersion,
MyAPIinfo.dwBuildNumber);
}
}
Code for API to get the details
public class MyAPI {
[DllImport("kernel32.dll")]
public static extern
bool GetVersionEx(ref OSVERSIONINFO lpVersionInfo);
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
public struct OSVERSIONINFO {
public System.Int32 dwOSVersionInfoSize;
public System.Int32 dwMajorVersion;
public System.Int32 dwMinorVersion;
public System.Int32 dwBuildNumber;
public System.Int32 dwPlatformId;
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValTStr, SizeConst = 128)]
public String szCSDVersion;
}
}
1. Write the MyAPI class for getting the OS details
2. kernel32.dll is used to achive this target.
3. By using the we can get the Majorversion ,Miniorversion and buildnumber
