The following example attempts to retrieve the value of an environment variable named Test1 from the process environment block. If the variable doesn't exist, the example creates it and retrieves its value. The example displays the value of the variable. If the example created the variable, it also calls the GetEnvironmentVariables(EnvironmentVariableTarget) method with each member of the EnvironmentVariableTarget enumeration to establish that the variable can be retrieved only from the current process environment block. Finally, if the example created the variable, it deletes it.

GetEnvironmentVariable(String, EnvironmentVariableTarget)

Source:: Environment.cs

Source:: Environment.cs

Source:: Environment.cs

Retrieves the value of an environment variable from the current process or from the Windows operating system registry key for the current user or local machine.

public:
 static System::String ^ GetEnvironmentVariable(System::String ^ variable, EnvironmentVariableTarget target);

public static string? GetEnvironmentVariable (string variable, EnvironmentVariableTarget target);

public static string GetEnvironmentVariable (string variable, EnvironmentVariableTarget target);

static member GetEnvironmentVariable : string * EnvironmentVariableTarget -> string

Public Shared Function GetEnvironmentVariable (variable As String, target As EnvironmentVariableTarget) As String

Parameters

variable: String

The name of an environment variable.

target: EnvironmentVariableTarget

One of the EnvironmentVariableTarget values. Only Process is supported on .NET running on Unix-like systems.

Returns

String

The value of the environment variable specified by the variable and target parameters, or null if the environment variable is not found.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

variable is null.

ArgumentException

target is not a valid EnvironmentVariableTarget value.

SecurityException

The caller does not have the required permission to perform this operation.

Examples

The following example creates environment variables for the EnvironmentVariableTarget.Process, EnvironmentVariableTarget.User, and Machine targets, checks whether the operating system registry contains the user and machine environment variables, then deletes the environment variables. Because .NET on Unix-like systems does not support per-user and per-machine environment variables, only SetEnvironmentVariable(String, String) and SetEnvironmentVariable(String, String, EnvironmentVariableTarget) with a value of EnvironmentVariableTarget.Process successfully store an environment variable to the process environment block.
