## Remarks  
 This module supports the Visual Basic language keywords and runtime library members that provide information about the runtime currently in use.  
  
   
  
## Examples  
 The following example uses the `ScriptEngineMajorVersion` property and related properties to return a string describing the current runtime information:  
  
```vb  
Function getRuntimeInfo() As String  
    Dim runtime As String = ScriptEngine & " Version "  
    runtime &= CStr(ScriptEngineMajorVersion) & "."  
    runtime &= CStr(ScriptEngineMinorVersion) & "."  
    runtime &= CStr(ScriptEngineBuildVersion)  
    ' Return the current runtime information.  
    Return runtime  
End Function  
```

## Remarks  
 The `ScriptEngine` property returns the string "VB".  
  
 You can use `ScriptEngine` when your application is running as a standalone program, in a script, or in a host application.  
  
   
  
## Examples  
 The following example uses the `ScriptEngine` property and related properties to return a string describing the current run-time information:
