How can I retrieve OS and Hardware Device Information using Compact Framework in VB only?<br />
<br />
I would like to create a couple parameters to store the OS ver # and a string for the handheld's device info (e.g. Motorola PDT-8100). <br />
<br />
What's the best way to pull this information out utilizing VB.NET in Compact Framework 1.1. environment? &nbsp;I can't seem to find a library or reference dll that I can use to accomplish this. &nbsp;
