View 4 RepliesFirst off a short background of the project I am working on- I am developing a program that will be run off removable media (i.e. USB Flash drive). This will be a �virtual desktop� which you will be able to take with you and have the same �desktop� on any system. As we know drive letters can change with each host system the drive is plugged into, I need to be able to determine the path for the flash drive and access a specific folder ( i.e. My Documents)
I have an picture box(representing the icon) placed on my form (form1) and when I click the icon I want to be able to open and view the a specific folder from the portable drive. I need a click event that will determine a dynamic drive letter for a directory on the removable drive and then open that directory in an explorer window.

I am using this code for getting hard drive serial number its works ok with me but not working on my friends system and return an empty string.
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.
My 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 8 RepliesThe 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.

I am looking for a way to retrieve the temperature of hard drives in VB Express 2008. I have found posts at a few different places that accomplish this with the following: Public Function GetDriveTemp() As Integer
Try
Dim searcher As New ManagementObjectSearcher("rootWMI", "SELECT * FROM MSStorageDriver_ATAPISmartData")
For Each queryObj As ManagementObject In searcher.Get()

This function retrieves the temperature for all the hard drives in my system (excluding USB), two internal and one external esata drive. There are two problems, tough: 1. I want to know the drive letter and maybe the drive label that the retrieved temperature corresponds to. I'm assuming that the * in the query, "SELECT * FROM MSStorageDriver_ATAPISmartData", can be changed to specify a particular drive rather than all drives, but I don't know how retrieve a list of all the drives in my system or how to write the query based on those results.
2. If I call the funciton from a some click event like for a label or button, there are no problems and the return value seems valid. But when I call the function from a Timer_Tick event, the mouse cursor is the busy cursor as long as the mouse is within the form, the form doesn't receive any click events, and it cannot be closed.
I know what I'm trying to do can be done because there are a few utilities that provide this information.
how to retrieve the temperature of a hard drive in Visual Basic 2005? The temperature can be retrieved from the S.M.A.R.T information, but I don't know how to do that in Visual Basic 2005. There probably is a way, but unfortunately, I don't know.

I'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.
