Examples

The following example displays the version of the common language runtime.

using namespace System;
int main()
{
   Console::WriteLine();
   Console::WriteLine( "Version: {0}", Environment::Version );
}

/*
This example produces the following results:
(Any result that is lengthy, specific to the machine on which this sample was tested, or reveals information that should remain secure, has been omitted and marked S"!---OMITTED---!".)

Version: !---OMITTED---!
*/
// Sample for the Environment.Version property
using System;

class Sample
{
    public static void Main()
    {
    Console.WriteLine();
    Console.WriteLine("Version: {0}", Environment.Version.ToString());
    }
}
// Sample for the Environment.Version property
open System

printfn $"\nVersion: {Environment.Version}"
' Sample for the Environment.Version property
Class Sample
   Public Shared Sub Main()

      Console.WriteLine("Version: {0}", Environment.Version.ToString())
   End Sub
End Class

Remarks

For .NET Core 3.x and .NET 5+, the Environment.Version property returns the .NET runtime version number.

For the .NET Framework Versions 4, 4.5, 4.5.1, and 4.5.2, the Environment.Version property returns a Version object whose string representation has the form 4.0.30319.xxxxx. For the .NET Framework 4.6 and later versions, and .NET Core versions before 3.0, it has the form 4.0.30319.42000.

Warning

For the .NET Framework 4.5 and later, we do not recommend using the Version property to detect the version of the runtime; instead, you can determine the version of the common language runtime by querying the registry. For more information, see How to: Determine Which .NET Framework Versions Are Installed.

For more information about the version of the common language runtime that is installed with each version of the .NET Framework, see Versions and Dependencies.
