PlatformID Enum

Definition

Identifies the operating system, or platform, supported by an assembly.

Name Value Description
Win32S 0

The operating system is Win32s. This value is no longer in use.

Win32Windows 1

The operating system is Windows 95 or Windows 98. This value is no longer in use.

Win32NT 2

The operating system is Windows NT or later.

WinCE 3

The operating system is Windows CE. This value is no longer in use.

Unix 4

The operating system is Unix.

Xbox 5

The development platform is Xbox 360. This value is no longer in use.

MacOSX 6

The operating system is Macintosh. This value was returned by Silverlight. On .NET Core, its replacement is Unix.

Other 7

Any other operating system. This includes Browser (WASM).

Examples

The following example demonstrates using the PlatformID class to identify the currently executing operating system:

// This example demonstrates the PlatformID enumeration.
using namespace System;
int main()
{
   String^ msg1 = L"This is a Windows operating system.";
   String^ msg2 = L"This is a Unix operating system.";
   String^ msg3 = L"ERROR: This platform identifier is invalid.";
   
   // Assume this example is run on a Windows operating system.
   OperatingSystem^ os = Environment::OSVersion;
   PlatformID pid = os->Platform;
   switch ( pid )
   {
      case PlatformID::Win32NT:
      case PlatformID::Win32S:
      case PlatformID::Win32Windows:
      case PlatformID::WinCE:
         Console::WriteLine( msg1 );
         break;

      case PlatformID::Unix:
         Console::WriteLine( msg2 );
         break;

      default:
         Console::WriteLine( msg3 );
         break;
   }
   return 1;
}

Remarks

Use the Environment.OSVersion and OperatingSystem.Platform properties to obtain the PlatformID enumeration for the currently executing operating system or development platform. Use the PlatformID enumeration to help determine whether the current operating system or development platform supports your application.

You can use the underlying integer value of each PlatformID enumeration member as the PlatformId argument for the SignTool.exe (Sign Tool) utility.
