What's the best method for getting the local computer name in Delphi
computer-name, delphi
Solution
The Windows API GetComputerName should work. It is defined in windows.pas.
Problem
The code needs to be compatible with D2007 and D2009. My Answer: Thanks to everyone who answered, I've gone with: ``` function ComputerName : String; var buffer: array[0..255] of char; size: dword; begin size := 256; if GetComputerName(buffer, size) then Result := buffer else Result := '' end; ```
