I want to retrieve the serial no, model no, and type of a processor using c#

Here's how:

http://www.eggheadcafe.com/articles/20030511.asp

hmmm the link to the msn seems duff ... here it is in plain text:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wmisdk/wmi/wmi_start_page.asp

Here is the page with all the info about the processor:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/wmisdk/wmi/win32_processor.asp?frame=true

just swap that out for the hdd info in the above code and you'll be sorted :)

and how about the motherboard id ? because i didn't find it on the net for c++/c# but only for delphi.
help me please, because i don't figure out how the classes work ...

If you look under the msdn link i gave in the post above there a section called WMI Reference on the left side bar, then click
WMI Classes
WIN32 Classes
Computer System Hardware Classes
WIN32_MotherboardDevice

that will display all the reference material for retiving the motherboard info. All you need to do is create the appropriate struct, change the info retival strings and loops and out will pop the info you need :)

At some point I will sit down and write down all that is needed to access all the WMI info easily but that will be a full componant for sale on our site.

i want to read registry of client from server machine

I want to get the web request made to my IIS server. I need the URL requested and the time of request.

I think there are some registary classes in the .net framework so You'll want to look at those swapnil.

Ramki have a look through the wmi reference ... if its there then cool but i have a feeling you may have to do some work with asp.net

Can some1 help me?

I'm trying to get partition information, and for every retreived partition I need to make another pictureBox control in my Form.

Thanks...

The above code is working fine in XP and 2k but not in 98 OS..
and also it is not retrieving some Harddisk serial number.

Can anyone give a better source or Win32 class that can be used to retrieve Harddisk serial number

Indeed, it doesn't work on Windows 98 because the application requires .NET Framework. What you can reuse from this tutorial in an application created in C++ are the WMI queries.

Hey andrei Pociu,

Even with .Net FW also it will not work in Win98 OS.
Can u give some Win32 API or class that can be used to get HDD serial number.

I got a code that can able to get Harddisk serial number in Winxp and Win 2k. But there is a probelm with this code too. This code is getting only the serial number of IDE HDD's.

Can someone help me in finding the serial number of All type of HDD's

Your code to find Hard disk serial number is interesting, but when I tried the program, Serial number is showing different in Master and Slave mode.

In Master Mode
IDESAMSUNG SP0411N
S01JJ30Y275145

And in Slave mode
IDESAMSUNG SP0411N
30534a31334a5930373231353534202020202020

Any idea why this is happening? My computer is having only one HDD. The serial number in slave mode looks like the value returned by \"PNPDeviceID\" for \"SELECT * FROM Win32_DiskDrive\" query.

Thank you for spending the time to write this and make the tutorial public. From your example I\'m now able to reference any WMI class through C#. Kudos for the KISS guide! :-)

hi, i have one doubt. how can trim the text to 5 char..in C#.net
pls tell me..

by prabha

hi, I have used this code.
But when I tried to retrieve the hard drive serial number, I am getting exception of \'Invalid class\' after
ManagementObjectSearcher MOS_HDSearcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(\"SELECT * FROM Win32_PhysicalMedia\");

int i = 0;
foreach (ManagementObject MO_HD in MOS_HDSearcher.Get())

Please tell me how to get it working.


Thanks
-Ashwini

Very simple. Just write this:

string serno = \"\";

ManagementObject o =
new ManagementObject(\"Win32_LogicalDisk.DeviceID=\\\"C:\\\"\");

serno = o.Properies[\"VolumeSerialNumber\"].Value.ToString();
...


and etc.

Sir,
I have tried above code using System.Management Class. But when i debug my code then my application hangs in between. when I was retrieving the hard disk information with thi line of code
foreach (ManagementObject MO_HD in MOS_HDSearcher.Get())

Getting Serial No as null . Why???

Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) is Microsoft’s implementation of Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM), an industry initiative to provide a Common Information Model (CIM) for pretty much any information about a computer system. The Python WMI module is a lightweight wrapper on top of the pywin32 extensions, and hides some of the messy plumbing needed to get Python to talk to the WMI API. Check http://www.activextest.com/run-activex.html for more info.

you can create a management application that monitors an enterprise, provides event-based alerts, and allows a user to control different aspects of an enterprise.
