Hi Vipul,
Whenever device capabilities are involved, there are at least 3 possible options.
Depending on the security settings and the O/S & N/w infrastructure, one or the other
might not work.
Ok, the options are:
1. Using msinfo32.exe to pipe out its report into a temp file and getting the
appropriate stuff from that.
2. Similarly, dxdiag.exe can be used to generate a report, and can be read in ur app.
(Or, u can use the DirectX Managed API to get the Device Capabilities)
3. Finally, a better technique is to use WMI. In .NET, WMI is available under
System.Management Namespace (u will need to add a reference to it). The WMI service
should be running.
E.g.:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string strComputer = ".";
ManagementScope mScope = new ManagementScope("winmgmts:\\" +
strComputer + @"\root\cimv2");
ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new
ManagementObjectSearcher("Select * from
Win32_SerialPort");
foreach (ManagementObject sPort in searcher.Get())
{
Console.WriteLine("Caption = " + sPort["caption"]);
}
Regards,
Vinil
