MonoDevelop/C#: get the current running Common Language Runtime verion, with the Environment.Version property.

Read the Environment.Version Property to gets a Version object that describes the major, minor, build, and revision numbers of the common language runtime.

For the .NET Framework Versions 4, 4.5, 4.5.1, and 4.5.2, the Environment.Version property returns a Version object whose string representation has the form 4.0.30319.xxxxx. For the .NET Framework 4.6, it has the form 4.0.30319.42000.

Example:

using System;

namespace HelloWorldCsharp
{
    class MainClass
    {
        public static void Main (string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine ("Hello World!");

            /*

            */
            Console.WriteLine("Version: \t" + Environment.Version.ToString());
            Console.WriteLine("(Major): \t" + Environment.Version.Major.ToString());
            Console.WriteLine("(Minor): \t" + Environment.Version.Minor.ToString());

            Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit.");
            Console.ReadKey();
        }
    }
}

MonoDevelop/C# to keep console open with ReadKey()

In C# console program, we can keep console open by inserting the code Console.ReadKey():

using System;

namespace HelloWorldCsharp
{
    class MainClass
    {
        public static void Main (string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine ("Hello World!");
            Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit.");
            Console.ReadKey();
        }
    }
}

namespace HelloWorldCsharp
{
    class MainClass
    {
        public static void Main (string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine ("Hello World!");
