OSVersion just provides access to a PlatformID and a Version. PlatformID is an enumerated type. The .NET version only goes into detail for Win32 platforms (Win32S, Win32Windows, Win32NT). I don't think .NET mentions Unix *at all*. If it does, it certainly won't mention the myriad different flavors of Unix running around.
Mono can extend PlatformID (in fact, it added a Unix value), but if an extended value is used under .NET, the results of expecting an extended value are likely undefined. So this isn't a portable, long-term solution. - Jon On Fri, 2003-03-07 at 16:31, Daniel Morgan wrote: > What about OSVersion and other properties found in System.Environment? > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Jonathan Pryor > Sent: Friday, March 07, 2003 4:25 PM > To: Charles-Louis > Cc: Mono List > Subject: Re: [Mono-list] How can the assembly check the OS it's on? > > > Easiest way I'm aware of is to check > System.IO.Path.DirectorySeparatorChar.
