PHP Dim searcher As ManagementObjectSearcher = New ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT * FROM Win32_PhysicalMedia") For Each wmi_HD As ManagementObject In searcher.Get() MessageBox.Show(wmi_HD("SerialNumber")) Next 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.
Searched High & Low to find a reliable way to get HDD real serial numbers in VB.NET. WMI method using Win32_PhysicalMedia, does not work reliably (I am administrator & using XP Pro & SATA drives)
I'm having a bit of an issue receiving a stream of serial data and displaying the data real-time in my GUI. I am fairly new to VB.Here's what I'm trying to achieve: I have an I2C device (bank of LED's) connected to my Arduino. Using the VB.NET (2010) GUI I request which LED I want on (via buttons) and the I2C device then sends a reply confirming which LED actually turned on (basic feedback). Ok, sounds great right? Here's where I get issues. Well when I try to read the serial data sent to VB and display the real-time stream on the GUI, a) I get a bit of a mess as an output (values are ok, just spewn across GUI) and b) when I select a new LED to turn on, the GUI data does not refresh to this change. The stream being sent from the Arduino is ok, I looked at the data in a serial monitor.

My question is; when you enter a variable to inputbox like "100.5" it shall return a numeric value at line1 and "100,5" too. But when I need to check for entered value is a real number or not (Look line2) CDbl("100.5") returns 1005 CDbl("100,5") returns 100,5.
I want to generate a serial number in this format: INDDMMYY000001, INDDMMYY000002, INDDMMYY000003, ... I can generate INDDMMYY using following code: lblNoSiri.Text = "IN" + Date.Now.ToString("ddMMyy") However, I don't know how to generate the last six digit number. I only can generate number without zero in front of it. How to create the number with fix number of digit?
I'm using this code to generate machine signature. But it's take noticeable time to execute.

I am making my first application which involves WMI.. Using the documentation provided by MSDN and the Forums I have managed to get data related to the Win32 Class (Computer Name, Physical Memory, IP Address, etc..) Now I would like to get the Serial number of the monitor. I believe I have to use the WmiMonitorID Class. However, I do not know the Syntax to access the property of the same. I had used the code below for the win32 class. How do I modify it for the WmiMonitorID Class?

What is missing is a way that when I give a print click on the quantity of copies informed skirt with sequential numbers without repetitionex.: 10001, 10002, 10003
The PC has VB program.The VB (running over XP operation system) communicates through USB to RS232 and communicates with electronic board.I found out the when the XP allocate port number more then (estimation) 16, the VB program have problem to communicate with the board.(The problem disappears when the XP allocate port number less then 16).Is VB can handle port number that have high number (like com 45 etc')? and how...Can I force the XP to automatic allocate port number less then specific value?
OS: windows 7 64-bit /Programming Language: Visual Basic.net on Visual Studio 2010 express edition.I have dataset with 4 tables each one of them is a datasource to a datagridview I want to add a serial number column to the datagridview so I made this
DataGridView1.Columns.Add("serial", "SER.") For x As Integer = 0 To (ds.Tables("workers").Rows.Count - 1) DataGridView1("serial", x).Value = (x + 1) Next
It was working fine untill I added a relationship to the dataset the relationships codes were
Dim relation_WC As New DataRelation("relation_WC", ds.Tables("workers").Columns("id"), ds.Tables("cources_jun").Columns("workerid")) Dim relation_WV As New DataRelation("relation_WV", ds.Tables("workers").Columns("id"), ds.Tables("vacations_jun").Columns("workerid"))
[code]....
I breaked point the debuging and I found that the serial number column I added is fine and has it's values, but when I reach the line relations.add(the_relation) the serial number column loses it's values and turn into an empty column with no numbers in it....why this is happening?
Note: I added another relations but the only relations that clear the serial number column are the relations that has a datatable that is a datasource to the datagridview that has the serial number column.
I have devices with unique serial number (string incremetation) ex : AS1002 and AS1003. I need to figure out an algorithm to produce a unique activation key for each serial number. What would be the best approach for this ?
How can I retrieve HDD Firmware Serial number in .net? I am able to retrieve HDD Serial number using WMI calls but not able to find any way to retrieve HDD Firmware Serial number.
i am making a program in visual basic 2008 and when the program first starts up on acomputer/device i want it to come up with a screen that asks for a serial key. i also only want the serial key (that i give to the person i am giving the program to) to be accepted once.eg. if he copies the program and gives it to another person who takes it home, they have to enter a new one (that i would have to give them). if they enter the same key as person 1, i want to deny access.

I am trying to release my program now and I have a quick (hopefully quick) question concerning serial numbers. I want to be able to store the trial serial number so if the user uninstalls and reinstalls they won't get another evaluation period free of charge. My concern is that some crafty person will simply move the database files in and out of those installs and keep going indefinately. Although I have some protections built into the database itself in case the program runs out, I just want one extra layer of protection. Is there a way to store the serial number in the registry when entered and check for that entry whenever the program is installed using Windows Installer 3.1?
I am new to WMI concept. I want to fetch the Monitor Serial Number using WMI. I tried in the Class WIN32_PNPEntity, WIN32_DESKTOP, WIN32_DESKTOPMONITOR But I am unable to fetch the Monitor Serial Number.
