How do I get the local machine name?

From stackoverflow

• System.Environment.MachineName

  Joel Coehoorn : Beat me by 14 seconds.

  annakata : Sorry :) These little questions are kind of a turkey shoot. I kind of assumed there'd be 4 answers by the time I posted.

  annakata : Well *now* I feel guilty about ridiculous amount of upvotes...

  Joel Coehoorn : Hehe. Don't worry: we'd both likely crack the 200/day cap without them anyway.

  dnewcome : I really didn't mean anything much by the comment on my post. Just expressing a `doh' moment.

• You should be able to use System.Environment.MachineName for this. It is a property that returns a string containing the netBIOS name of the computer:

  dnewcome : LOL I guess I shouldn't have taken the extra few seconds to link the MSDN article.

  Rowland Shaw : But it's a more complete answer, so you'll still gain some upvotes...

  annakata : No hard feelings +1 - SO is just like that

• From link text

  Four ways to get your local network/machine name:

  string name = Environment.MachineName;
  string name = System.Net.Dns.GetHostName();
  string name = System.Windows.Forms.SystemInformation.ComputerName;
  string name = System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable(“COMPUTERNAME”);
  

  epotter : Do they return the same thing or is there some difference between all of them?
