How do I get my computer name using VB? 1

I know this should be an easy one but I cant find it anywhere. I need to get my network machine name in my VB program.


Thanks,

Win32 API. If you've never used it before, the API Text viewer that comes with VB is a neat tool. Through this declaration in somewhere globally visible and have fun

Declare Function GetComputerName Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetComputerNameA" (ByVal lpBuffer As String, nSize As Long) As Long

Thanks, that was a huge help. I haven't used the API viewer, but I guess I should start using it. I think that the word API just scares me a bit.
