what is the fast way to get the computer name?

Answer 1

you can just use without function:

System.Net.Dns.GetHostName 

or:

Environment.MachineName 

Answer 2

This is not that good the previous anwser,but if you love to work with forms:

Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

    Me.Text = System.Windows.Forms.SystemInformation.ComputerName

End Sub

System.Windows.Forms.SystemInformation gives a lot of nice informations.

-> UserDomainName

-> UserName
