Comment on C# Detect Windows OS Version – Part 1 by Andrew

Looks like the problem is pretty simple. Did you copy both sections of code? The getOSArchitecture() method is defined in the first section. Also, to make things a little easier, you can go to Part 2: Using WMI and download the source code which includes the WMI method, and a fallback to this code in case WMI isn't available.

i copied the code exactly like its shown and i get an error on the line (marked here as #72)

operatingSystem += ” ” + getOSArchitecture().ToString() + “-bit”;

i believe im missing something, i managed to adecuate the code in order to work for me (since all i need is differentiate between XP and Vista) but I was wondering what should I add to this code in order to get the value as shown here and sweep the error?

eror:Error 1 The name ‘getOSArchitecture’ does not exist in the current context

thanks.

peace.

Thanks. I’m pretty sure you’re right. It does sound like he actually believes what he’s saying; for whatever that’s worth.

Good response, Andrew.
It’s so pathetic what people will tell themselves so that they can continue to mislead others. He sounds like he might actually be convinced that he’s doing the right thing. ugh.

Hahahaha... All credit for the captchas must go to reCAPTCHA. By completing them, you're helping to digitize books better than anything has before.

Haha! Yes, you are a nerd!
On another note, you generate the funniest captchas ever. Right now I have “bunions kissinger”… I don’t really know why that’s funny, but to me it just is.

Haha... nope, I'm just doing it for fun. You should read the "Computers" section on my about page. :-p I do use Google Chrome now. It's no my default browser because I need the Web Development plugins that only Firefox has at the moment, but I do really like Google Chrome. It's tons faster than any other browser on my machine, and I'm not the only one. Like Netbooks :-p, I don't see myself using Chrome OS myself, but I'm excited about the possibilities it opens up for others.

Are you beta testing or just playing? Please tell me you’re testing… for some sort of compensation… otherwise, you can use the extra time on your hands to clean my house, and I’ll feed you dinner! :p
Do you use Google Chrome now? I downloaded it at one point, but it didn’t seem any different to me than firefox, so I didn’t bother to move all of my bookmarks over.
