Multiple Processors / Cores

[woogoo]

Hi does anyone know how to detect the number of processors and cores on a machine?

I'd appreciate any comments on this.

To get the number of processors, you can use [tt]System.Environment.ProcessorCount[/tt] but I think it's slightly more tricky for cores.

Try looking at Win32_Processor and WIn32_ComputerSystem classes in WMI. System.Management namespace is used in .NET to access WMI functions.

Using WMI, you can get much more information about software, hardware, environemnt, networking etc easily and efficiently.

Hope it helps.

ca8msm is right, ProcessorCount returns 2 on my dual core machine, and 4 on a dual processor (each a dual core) server.
