Windows 10 get DeviceFamilyVersion

Question

I\'m working windows 10 10240 Univasal windows app, when i use Windows.System.Profile.AnalyticsInfo.VersionInfo.DeviceFamilyVersion to get deivce version, it return a string

Answer 1

Just a nifty way of doing this .. I Creadted a Enum that is used to match predefined device families

public enum DeviceFamily
{
    Unknown,
    Desktop,
    Tablet,
    Mobile,
    SurfaceHub,
    Xbox,
    Iot
}

This method will check and parse it into the enum.

   var q = ResourceContext.GetForCurrentView().QualifierValues;
    if (q.ContainsKey("DeviceFamily"))
    {
        try
        {
            Enum.Parse(typeof(DeviceFamily) , q["DeviceFamily"]);
            //send the user notification about the device family he is in.
        }
        catch (Exception ex) { }
    }
