Never mind, guys. I figured it out.







For those interested - use the osVersion property of the Environment

class under the System namespace.







The osVersion property is an object of the operatingSystem class which

in return gives you access to the operatingSystem platform and version

properties. This can then be used to retrieve the platform and version

information of the operating system that the server is running on.







Note that the version property is an object of the Version class. This

gives you access to the build, major, minor and revision properties.







I won't leave you guys hanging without an example (:))



(the text succeeding the '->' indicates what is returned to the browser)







Response.write( environment.osVersion.version ) -> 5.1.2499.0



This in layman terms means that I am running Microsoft Windows 5.1 (XP)

build 2499, revision 0.







Response.write( environment.osVersion.version.build ) -> 2499



Here I'm accessing the build property of the version class, which

returns the build number as an integer.







If I can be of any further assistance with this, don't hesitate to ask.

Subject: [aspngstart] operating system version







Does anyone know how to use ASP.NET (beta2) to grab the name of the

operating system and version that the server is running on?







The only way I can think of doing this is through a stored procedure

that executes the 'ver' command from the command prompt and extracts the

result from there. Is there another way?







Thanks.
