I have using System.Management;
However, I keep getting this error:
The type or namespace name 'ManagementClass' does not exist in the namespace 'System.Management' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
I get that error twice.
I also get this error:
The type or namespace name 'ManagementObjectCollection' does not exist in the namespace 'System.Management' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
Why does this happen?
If it helps, this is my code (completely taken from StackOverflow, but still the code I'm using)
private string identifier(string wmiClass, string wmiProperty)
//Return a hardware identifier
{
string result = "";
System.Management.ManagementClass mc = new System.Management.ManagementClass(wmiClass);
System.Management.ManagementObjectCollection moc = mc.GetInstances();
foreach (System.Management.ManagementObject mo in moc)
{
//Only get the first one
if (result == "")
{
try
{
result = mo[wmiProperty].ToString();
break;
}
catch
{
}
}
}
return result;
}
private void getButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string modelNo = identifier("Win32_DiskDrive", "Model");
string manufatureID = identifier("Win32_DiskDrive", "Manufacturer");
string signature = identifier("Win32_DiskDrive", "Signature");
string totalHeads = identifier("Win32_DiskDrive", "TotalHeads");
}
