Now let's start working on .xaml page. First of all add a namespace for mscorlib assembly.

xmlns:r="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib"

MSCorlib- It is special, any compiler needs it because it contains types that are required to make the language syntax work. System.Array, System.Int32, System.String, System.Exception, etc.

Write this .xamlcode on page:

<TextBlock>
<Label Content="Operating System Version : "></Label>
<Label Content="{x:Static r:Environment.OSVersion}"></Label>
<LineBreak></LineBreak>
<Label Content="Dot NET Version : "></Label>
<Label Content="{x:Static r:Environment.Version}"></Label>
<LineBreak></LineBreak>
<Label Content="Machine Name : "></Label>
<Label Content="{x:Static r:Environment.MachineName}"></Label>
<LineBreak></LineBreak>
<Label Content="User Name : "></Label>
<Label Content="{x:Static r:Environment.UserName}"></Label>

<LineBreak></LineBreak>
<Label Content="User Domain Name : "></Label>
<Label Content="{x:Static r:Environment.UserDomainName}"></Label>
<LineBreak></LineBreak>
<Label Content="System Directory : "></Label>
<Label Content="{x:Static r:Environment.SystemDirectory}"></Label>
