How to find the environment of the windows service

Question

Hello

I am trying to find a way to find which environment(dev, test, cert or prod) the windows service is running to set the connection string accordingly without supplying the server names.

I think i might be able to use Environment variables but i don't know for sure.

Does anyone have any information, any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Answer 1

to find which environment(dev, test, cert or prod)

Hello Natty,

On which indicator do you want to get this information; there are no default settings in any way how you can get this information?

Here you have to find your own solution, may on the machine name or an own knowledge base or something else.

Thanks Olaf Helper for your response. But i am wondering that when i use the below in my dev environment

string MachineName = Environment.CurrentDirectory;

the MachineName contains \\DevServer, how can i check if it runs in test or prod environment the MachineName will contain \\TestServer or \\ProdServer.

Thanks.

Hello,

Please, could verify whether \\DevServer and \\TestServer are not the same ( maybe an alias ) ?

Have a nice day
