Find The Operating System Of The Device (if It's A Computer)?
Jan 26, 2012
I am building a simple network browser that pings a specified range of IP addresses, and if a response is discovered, it gets the host name and MAC address of the device it pinged.My first question is how can I find the operating system of the device (if it's a computer)?My second question is, for devices that aren't computers e.g. a wireless printer or router, is there a way I can find out what type of device it is?

I'm running windows 7 64 bit and using VS 2010. I'm trying to use the filesystem.getfiles to find a file on the computer and return the path for it. However, when I search C:/ and its subdirectories, it always throws an error: "A first chance exception of type 'System.UnauthorizedAccessException' occurred in mscorlib.dll"
I've looked everyone online and can't find a solution. I have administrator privileges and really I dont want people who use my app to have to adjust security settings for this to work. Is there not a way to search the C drive for a specific file and return its path? [Code]

We have a Windows application, and we want to charge clients different prices base on their OS. There are 2 prices: 1 for client OS (XP, Vista, and 7), and 1 for Server OS (Server 2003 and Server 2008). My question is how can I retrieve the client's operating system from my vb code? By the way, I don't have to get the exact OS name, I just want to know whether it is a client OS or Server OS.

I did Build a program and copied only the EXE file to USB drive. Tried to run it on different computers. XP computers had no problem running it. The ME and Win98 could not run the program since the MSCOREE.DLL was missing. I need to install something on those computers to enable them but there are security issues and patches. Is there anyway to make my program standalone?

I've found article writing about how to make os in vc++. But may I know how to make it in Visual Basic? I know it is not easy to make an operating system. Maybe I just need some more understanding on os or how to make a program that does not need other operating system to host it. If there's videos of article about it, please also recommend it to me.

I'm trying to get an application to determine which operating system the user is currently running and use that to decide what to do. For example, a user uses the program and they're using Windows 7. I want it to know that and use predetermined variables throughout the program for Windows 7. Likewise if they're using Vista or XP/Macintosh.

I need code to fit for an 'if then' statement based on an operating system. So let's say I am running windows XP, the program detects it, and with a simple if then' statement it opens form2, if i was running vista, it would open form1. So basically i need something like: If (WindowXP current OS) then form2.open, If (windowsvista currrent OS) then form1.openOf course, the above statement won't work because I need code to support the detection of the O.S.Note: I just need code for just these two O.S'es, also I don't care if its Windows XP SP1 2, or 3, just as long as it's an XP.

Ok basically i am making a game (personal/share with others for free)The idea of the game is its 1998 and you have windows 95 and you have to someone obtain windows 98. then slowely new operating systems are released... 2000, xp, vista, 7 and you have to continue to upgrade.
The game in played in a simualted real environment of the windows operating system. The idea is that you have access to the real programs that came with windows 95... (or whatever operating system you have ingame) and you have access to my fake webbrowser which has a bunch of fake websites (offline) in the game. You can either try to illegally download the operating system (viruses can infect you like this (fake ones)) or you can buy it off microsoft but to get money you need to do hacking jobs....
Anyway thought i should give you some back story to what i am actually making. (This project is more a test project since i am only 15 and have only really just started using visual basic for a few months.)
OK now i have so far got it looking almost completely like windows 95 and functioning like it to...
Hey just for the record... here are some nice pictures of it running
First of all heres what it looks like when you are doing selecting which program to open with the start menu:
This next picture is of notepad in my program:
Ok now this picture shows perfectly the active window has become inactive when rightclicking (or normal clicking) the desktop
Next picture shows the display properties windows... not that fasinating yet since i have not finished it and it does not accually do anything yet... its just for looks right now and scrolling through the theme names.
Now this is another tab from the properties window (the screensaver tab) you can't do much here apart from looking at the names of the screensavers)
Ok heres another pic from another tab in display properties... (this shows how you can pic a color to change the background in the display window (clicking apply makes your background of the destop in the fake os accually change)
Ok this image in the same window as the previous one shows how you can select to change different things colors (i only got active titlebar and desktop changing right now...)
This image shows the active titlebar color change...
This screenshot shows the settings tab of the properties window
This screenshot shows windows help (main purpose here is just to show the colour change has taken effect)
Ok last of all this just shows that the maximize button works
I CAN ONLY HAVE ONE PROGRAM OPEN AT ONCE basically this is because i have a panel called program and in that a another few panels such as the active window titlebar...
Now i basically have it so that the programs are all in the pannel programand when you "open" a program all the other panels in this window are closed and the one you "open" is docked... and the label (programsname) is chnged to the name of the program.
Here is a picture of the visual editor if you don't get me...
As you can see there are weird little things in program1 (forget program 2 that is a thing i was trying to do ages ago with my old crappy shell)
these weird things are my programs which get docked to the size of the program panel when you click to open a program...
This method works well but only if you have one program at a time.
A solution i thought of was to copy and paste the shell (program panel) and then just put each program in a seperate shell... this would work... but then i can't open 2 of the same program e.g. have 4 notepads running at same time. I am also having heaps of trouble with the taskbar (there in a button on the task-bar which changes text when the programs name changes)
Anyway i am going to post my full program here (code and all) just download if from this rapid share link.
EDIT: the file was 5 meg and now is 3 meg so that should be easier to download RapidShare: 1-CLICK Web hosting - Easy Filehosting and then run the solution file or whatever
Please show me some code that will get me be able to run infinite windows of same type and different type...
Do whatever you have to do (just make sure you make sure it works on your side before resending the project back to me.)
