ASP.NET in a Nutshell

Name

MachineName

Synopsis

stringvar = Server.MachineName

Returns a String containing the name of the server on which the code is executing.

Parameters

stringvar

A String variable that receives the machine name from the property.

Example

This code example declares a string variable, assigns the MachineName property value to the string variable, and then sets the text property of the Message label to the value of ServerName:

Sub Page_Load(  )
   Dim ServerName As String
   ServerName = Server.MachineName
   Message.Text = "The name of the server is " & ServerName & ".<br/>"
End Sub

Notes

This property can be useful for code that needs to be easily portable, but needs to access resources that require the server name.
