Getting Computer Info using “My” Namespace

March 4th, 2007

This sample program demonstrates how to get computer information by using the “My” namespace that’s available in the .NET Framework 2.0 Class Library. The “My” namespace greatly improves productivity because it allows you to get information that would have required you to write many lines of code before. For example, with the My namespace, you can get the currently logged on user’s name with one line of code.

The My namespace offers a lot more information and functionality than what’s used in this sample program. But hopefully this gets you started in exploring the My namespace more.
