The following example uses the ScriptEngineMajorVersion property and related properties to return a string describing the current runtime information:

Function getRuntimeInfo() As String  
    Dim runtime As String = ScriptEngine & " Version "  
    runtime &= CStr(ScriptEngineMajorVersion) & "."  
    runtime &= CStr(ScriptEngineMinorVersion) & "."  
    runtime &= CStr(ScriptEngineBuildVersion)  
    ' Return the current runtime information.  
    Return runtime  
End Function
