You can get your hands on to usefull information from within your C# program.
Use the static System.Environment class!
Take a look at this snippet, which can be used as is in a Console application.
I have not exhausted all the possibilities, if you want you can look them up in the documentation.
Get environmental!
static void ShowEnvironmentInfo()
{
// Get the commandline for this process
//
Console.WriteLine("Commandline: {0}", Environment.CommandLine);
// Gets or sets the fully qualified path of the current working directory
// This is the directory from which this process started.
//
Console.WriteLine("Current directory: {0}", Environment.CurrentDirectory);
// Gets the NetBIOS name of this local machine
//
Console.WriteLine("Machine name: {0}", Environment.MachineName);
// Gets an OperatingSystem object that contains
// the current platform identifier and version number.
//
Console.WriteLine("OS: {0}", Environment.OSVersion);
// Gets the network domain name associated with the current user.
//
Console.WriteLine("Userdomain name: {0}", Environment.UserDomainName);
// Print out the drives on this machine,
//
foreach (string drive in Environment.GetLogicalDrives())
Console.WriteLine("Drive: {0}", drive);
// Gets the number of processors on this machine
//
Console.WriteLine("Number of processors: {0}", Environment.ProcessorCount);
// Gets a Version object that describes the
// major, minor, build, and revision numbers of the common language runtime.
//
Console.WriteLine(".NET Version: {0}", Environment.Version);
// Returns a string array containing the command-line arguments for the current process.
// Same as string[] args in main
//
Console.WriteLine("Command arguments: {0}", Environment.GetCommandLineArgs());
