Is there a way in .NET (3.5 or less) to tell if a console application is running on x86 or x64?
Do you mean the machine or the process? Why do you want to know?
Aku’s answer will tell you if the process you are in is running in a 64bit mode. On current versions of Windows this could mean either Itanuim or x64.
Your process won’t necessarily be 64 bit even on a 64 bit machine/OS.
Othewise Microsoft.Build.Utilities.ProcessorArchitecture.CurrentProcessArchitecture returns a string with the current proc arch. It’s in 3.5.
