OperatingSystem::VersionString Property
Visual Studio 2010
Gets the concatenated string representation of the platform identifier, version, and service pack that are currently installed on the operating system.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Property Value
Type: System::StringThe string representation of the values returned by the Platform, Version, and ServicePack properties.
By default, the value returned by VersionString is the same as the value returned by the ToString method. However, an implementation of the .NET Framework for a different platform might return a more appropriate string for that platform.
The following code example demonstrates the VersionString property.
// This example demonstrates the VersionString property. using namespace System; int main() { OperatingSystem^ os = Environment::OSVersion; // Display the value of OperatingSystem.VersionString. By default, this is // the same value as OperatingSystem.ToString. Console::WriteLine( L"This operating system is {0}", os->VersionString ); return 0; } /* This example produces the following results: This operating system is Microsoft Windows NT 5.1.2600.0 Service Pack 1 */
