Determining .net framework version in a running application
To determine the .NET Framework version in a running application, you can use the System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeInformation
class, which provides information about the runtime environment. This class is available in .NET Core and .NET Framework 4.7.2 and later versions.
Here's how you can retrieve the .NET Framework version in a running application:
csharpusing System;
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
// Get the .NET Framework description
string frameworkDescription = System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeInformation.FrameworkDescription;
// Display the .NET Framework version
Console.WriteLine("Running on: " + frameworkDescription);
}
}
When you run this code, it will display the version of the .NET Framework that the application is using. The FrameworkDescription
property will provide a string that includes the version number and additional information about the .NET Framework.
Please note that this approach is suitable for applications running on .NET Core and .NET Framework 4.7.2 and later versions. If you need to determine the .NET Framework version for earlier versions, you can use different methods, such as reading the Environment.Version
property, but keep in mind that the behavior and information provided may vary.
