Detect x64 or x86?

[usvpn]

I really have no idea why there's no built-in function to detect platform, I need to know I am running on x64 or x86?

Even in .NET Framework 4.0, there's no such thing!

Well, my application is set to "Any CPU"

Can I use:

If IntPtr.Size = 8 Then
   'x64()
ElseIf IntPtr.Size = 4 Then
   'x86
End If

And make sure it will work OK on all conditions?

Or you know a better way?

Thanks

The Environment class will tell you this

Environment.Is64BitProcess
Environment.Is64BitOperatingSystem
