View 18 RepliesMy Dad made an application which had a feature that i want, basically his programme reads the users hard drive serial number and then multiplies it by say 12 and then divides it by 7 for example. This number is then shown as a 'Authorisation Code' which the user has to email to him and then his breaks it back down to the original hard drive serial number which he sends back which is the application serial number to activate it. I want to know how to read the actual hard drive serial number or a number that every computer has so i can do the same but i have searched everywhere and cannot find any examples for VB 2008 apart from one which didn't work

View 17 RepliesI've been checking endlessly on MSDN and the net in general trying to find out how to get the computer's "C:" drive serial number and also the GUID.Everything I've found seems to pointing to the System.Management library using the ManagementObject, but "ManagementObject" doesn't appear to be recognized by the IDE?!I've imported: System.Management, System.Management.Instrumentation, Microsoft.Win32 and System.IO, but ManagementObject is still coming up as an error.I'm aware I can simply access the registry to get the GUID, but can anyone simply give me the code to access these 2 elements please.

View 4 Repliesi have a question concering USB flash drives. I am building a Record Book with an Access 2007 database. When a user changes some information in the database i have built a procedure to create a backup of the database on a second hard drive. I was wondering if there is a way to find my USB flash drive serial number (either through coding or alternative ways) and specify that USB with that serial number as the location of the backup. As my program is at the moment, the backup is created from C to D. This can be a problem if on other computers there is no D drive or it's not a hard disk. By specifying the serial number to save the backup database to, should work on all pcs (theoretically). I am just not sure if this is possible in any way.

I wrote a program that can kinda of read Docx files. I can extract the text of the file and the metadata that word puts in the file not the stuff you see when you write click and go to properties. I Can extract and view that data I'm working on making the subroutine (i don't know if its an algorithm there is no math.Anyway I want this to be a forensic program where it will scan the whole hard drive and add all the docx files to a listbox. I found this code
Dim file_names As ReadOnlyCollection(Of String)
Dim directory As String = "c:"
Dim searchFor As String = "windows"
[code]....
but some folders that where hidden like $inplace they were left over from my windows 7 upgrade. they cause it to crash. is there anyway to be able to scan every folder on the PC. I tried launching the complied .exe by right clicking and hitting run as admin but it still crashed when i executed that code.
The drive is connected via USB and the problem I'm having is that, periodically, while my code is executing, the usb drive seems to disconnect and reconnect. (Nothing to do with the program, but the drive itself).I want to find a way to prevent these temporary drive reconnects from interrupting my code. IE, i want to insure that whatever read or write that is requested is actually executed even in the case of a temporary drive interruption.
