Dim device As Device = platform.GetDevice(platform.GetDefaultDeviceId())
' Output information about the device.
Console.WriteLine("Name: " + device.Name + vbCr + vbLf + "Platform: " & _
device.Platform.ToString() + vbCr + vbLf + "ID: " + _
device.Id.ToString())
If device.IsEmulator() Then
Console.WriteLine("Device is an Emulator")
End If
' Output device properties
Console.WriteLine(vbCr + vbLf + "Device Properties:")
Console.WriteLine(" OS_Version: " + device.GetProperty("OS_Version"))
// Get the default device in the platform, usually an emulator.
Device device = platform.GetDevice(platform.GetDefaultDeviceId());
// Output information about the device.
Console.WriteLine("Name: " + device.Name + "\r\n" +
