How to detect a multiprocessor host computer

[Bob Altman]

Hi,

Is there a way to detect when my program is running on a multiprocessor host
computer?

Hi,

I believe you will get more than one record back in mutilprocessor
systems. Add a reference to system.management.dll.


Dim moReturn As Management.ManagementObjectCollection

Dim moSearch As Management.ManagementObjectSearcher

Dim mo As Management.ManagementObject

moSearch = New Management.ManagementObjectSearcher("Select * from
Win32_Processor")

moReturn = moSearch.Get

For Each mo In moReturn

Dim strout As String = String.Format("{0} - {1}", mo("Name"),
mo("CurrentClockSpeed"))

Debug.WriteLine(strout)

Next

Imports System

.... = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS")
///

..NET 2.0: 'Environment.ProcessorCount'.

Thanks, that's just what I was looking for. It's funny how these things
work... I just got through reading an article in either CoDe or MSDN
magazine where the author was touting the benefits of the dreaded WMI
wrapper classes.

This is even easier than using the System.Management classes. Thanks!
