Fetch Hardware Information Using C#
Hello friend today we will learn how could we fetch Hardware Information of your computer such as available You can get your system information like System Information, Processor Information, Get Computer Name,Processor Id, HDD Serial No, System MAC Address, System Account Name, Motherboard Manufacturer, Motherboard Product Id, Physical Ram Memory, No of Ram Slot on Motherboard, CPU Manufacturer, CPU’s current clock speed, CD-DVD Drive Path, BIOS Maker, BIOS Serial No, BIOS Caption, Default IP gateway, CPU Speed, Get Current Language using C#.
To achieve this task we will be using Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), which would be achieved under System.Management namespce.
Below is the code snippet for fetching Hardware Information Using C#:
using System;
using System.Management;
namespace FetchHardwareInformation
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.Title = "Fetch hardware information of your computer.";
Console.WriteLine("Fetch hardware information of your computer.");
Console.WriteLine("Computer Name :=> " + GetComputerName());
Console.WriteLine("Processor Information :=> "+GetProcessorInformation());
Console.WriteLine("Motherboard Maker :=> " + GetBoardMaker());
Console.WriteLine("Mothor Board Product ID:=> "+GetBoardProductId());
Console.WriteLine("CD Rom :=> " + GetCdRomDrive());
Console.WriteLine("BIOS Maker :=> "+GetBIOSmaker());
Console.WriteLine("Processor Id :=> " + GetProcessorId());
Console.WriteLine("HDD Serial No :=> " + GetHDDSerialNo());
Console.WriteLine("MAC Address :=> " + GetMACAddress());
Console.WriteLine("BIOS Serial No :=> " + GetBIOSserNo());
Console.WriteLine("BIOS Caption :=> " + GetBIOScaption());
Console.WriteLine("Account Name :=> " + GetAccountName());
Console.WriteLine("Physical Memory :=> " + GetPhysicalMemory());
Console.WriteLine("No of RAM Slots :=> " + GetNoRamSlots());
Console.WriteLine("CPU Speed In GHz :=> " + GetCpuSpeedInGHz());
Console.WriteLine("Current Language :=> " + GetCurrentLanguage());
Console.WriteLine("OS Information :=> " + GetOSInformation());
Console.WriteLine("CPU Manufacturer :=> " + GetCPUManufacturer());
Console.WriteLine("CPU Current Clock Speed:=> " + GetCPUCurrentClockSpeed());
Console.WriteLine("Default IP Gateway :=> " + GetDefaultIPGateway());
Console.ReadKey();
