How do I get the computer name in .NET c#

Answer

System.Environment.MachineName from a console or WinForms app.
HttpContext.Current.Server.MachineName from a web app
System.Net.Dns.GetHostName() to get the FQDN

See How to find FQDN of local machine in C#/.NET ? if the last doesn't give you the FQDN and you need it.

See details about Difference between SystemInformation.ComputerName, Environment.MachineName, and Net.Dns.GetHostName
