The Globals type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |

![]() ![]() | ScriptEngine | Returns a String representing the runtime currently in use. |
![]() ![]() | ScriptEngineBuildVersion | Returns an Integer containing the build version number of the runtime currently in use. |
![]() ![]() | ScriptEngineMajorVersion | Returns an Integer containing the major version number of the runtime currently in use. |
![]() ![]() | ScriptEngineMinorVersion | Returns an Integer containing the minor version number of the runtime currently in use. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |

![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
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
