[.net] Framework 1.1 complete?

Take this question lightly, as it has probably been added in 2.0, but I don't think that you can, for example, get drive free space etc (although you can enumerate them) or memory usage for the computer.

You can. They are called performance counters.

In time the project grows, the ignorance of its devs it shows, with many a convoluted function, it plunges into deep compunction, the price of failure is high, Washu's mirth is nigh.

You could also use WMI to acheive this through .NET System.Management namespace

Ah, yes. I thought I saw something on them somewhere, but nothing came up when I searched.
Thanks!

How do you formulate a query for System.Management?

I rated you two up as I am feeling happy!

System.Management is a namespace. So, what exactly are you asking? Oh, and the ManagementQuery class sounds like something you could look into...

Is there any way to detect that I'm running on, say, Mono on a PPC machine, for example?

Yes, using the System.Environment class you can easily see what your OS is, and what version of the .net runtime is installed. Along with other information.

Yes, that is what I mean (or maybe it was ManagementQuerySearch).
Anyway, in the constructor it took a string. In the example it had ("<something...> __win32logicaldrives") or something like that, I cannot remember. In the help it didn't appear to have a list of query string or syntax.
