kernel32

[Mark Field]

When I insert the code below, it claims that there is a User Defined Type
Not Defined. In the cases below, it's refering to SYSTEM_INFO and
OSVERSIONINFO. I have matched the reference libraries up, and it still does
not compile. Any ideas? Thanks!

** THESE TWO DO NOT WORK ***
Private Declare Sub GetSystemInfo Lib "kernel32" (lpSystemInfo As
SYSTEM_INFO)
Private Declare Function GetVersionEx Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetVersionExA"
(lpOSInfo As OSVERSIONINFO) As Boolean

** THIS ONE WORKS!! **
Private Declare Function api_GetUserName Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias
"GetUserNameA" (ByVal lpBuffer As String, nSize As Long) As Long

Mark,

I have matched the reference libraries up, and it still does
not compile. Any ideas?

What do you mean by "matched the reference libraries up"? Do you
actually have the OSVERSIONINFO and SYSTEM_INFO structures defined
somewhere?

BTW, are you using VB.NET? Your Declare statements look like they were
written for VB6.

You don't need a reference for using this functions.

Post your declaration of 'OSVERSIONINFO'.

Hello, Mark:

Besides what Mattias and Herfried said, you may find useful the System.Environment class:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/?u...asp?frame=true

And the System.Windows.Forms.SystemInformation class:
