How to get the number of Processors on Windows Pho

Question

I'm wondering how to get the number of processors on Windows Phone... as documented in the MSDN the following statement always throws a MethodAccessException:

Environment.ProcessorCount

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, j3d

Answer 1

According to this forum post, which links to the MSDN doc that you mentioned, you can't get the processor count programatically on Windows Phone.

Answer 2

As described in MSDN this Property has a SecurityCriticalAttribute that makes for internal only, you can't use from your application. From MSDN:

This member has a SecurityCriticalAttribute attribute on Silverlight for Windows Phone, because the attribute was present in Silverlight 3. This attribute restricts this member to internal use. Application code that uses this member throws a MethodAccessException.
