That's the official way.
Note that the string is not parsable. It's only suitable for
About-dialogs or similar purposes (bug reports etc.):
using System;
using System.Reflection;
class T
{
static void Main ()
{
Console.WriteLine (GetDisplayName ());
}
//
// Returns the display name of the current runtime.
//
static string GetDisplayName ()
{
Type t = Type.GetType ("Mono.Runtime");
if (t == null) return "MS.NET";
MethodInfo mi = t.GetMethod ("GetDisplayName",
BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
return (string) mi.Invoke (null, null);
}
}
