Public ReadOnly Property Version As Version

Property Value

Version

A Version object that describes the major version, minor version, build, and revision numbers for the operating system.

Examples

The following code example creates several OperatingSystem objects and displays the Version property for each.

// Example for the OperatingSystem.Platform and 
// OperatingSystem.Version properties.
using namespace System;

// Create an OperatingSystem object and display the Platform
// and Version properties.
void BuildOSObj( PlatformID pID, Version^ ver )
{
   OperatingSystem^ opSys = gcnew OperatingSystem( pID,ver );
   PlatformID platform = opSys->Platform;
   Version^ version = opSys->Version;
   Console::WriteLine( "   Platform: {0,-15} Version: {1}", platform, version );
}

void BuildOperatingSystemObjects()
{
   
   // The Version object does not need to correspond to an 
   // actual OS version.
   Version^ verNull = gcnew Version;
   Version^ verString = gcnew Version( "3.5.8.13" );
   Version^ verMajMin = gcnew Version( 6,10 );
   Version^ verMMBld = gcnew Version( 5,25,5025 );
   Version^ verMMBVer = gcnew Version( 5,6,7,8 );
   
   // All PlatformID members are shown here.
