Identifying the CPU architecture type using C#

Question

I want to check which CPU architecture is the user running, is it i386 or X64 or AMD64. I want to do it in C#. I know i can try WMI or Registry. Is there any other way apart

Answer 1

You could ask the user perhaps?

Just kidding of course... I think WMI is what you would use for that. But maybe there is some other way as well?

If you go for WMI then LinqToWmi could be of use. I tried it out once, and it seemed pretty straight forward =) -> http://www.codeplex.com/linq2wmi
