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
