In certain applications you need to know system level settings of the machine where it is being executed. For example, you may want to know whether the machine is connected to a network, whether it has right handed mouse or left handed etc. The SystemInformation class from System.Windows.Forms namespace makes such information available to you. I guess this class is present in System.Windows.Forms namespace because such requirements more commonly arise in windows based application than web or any other applications. The SystemInformation class consists of static (shared in VB.NET) properties only. In this article I will explain some of them that are more useful.
