HWID finder?

lol i know alota VB but i dont know much about VB registry editing or using of the registry editor in VB. Not even sure if HWID is close to being used in registry. But i'd like to request a code for the a visual basics .net Hardware Identification finder or something that will get the string, and then later display it onto a msgbox or textbox.

Thanks in advance,
kBob

Computer System Hardware Classes (Windows)

First result on google:

Add a reference to
system.management.dll to your app. Here is an example.


[highlight=VB.Net]Dim moReturn As Management.ManagementObjectCollection
Dim moSearch As Management.ManagementObjectSearcher

Dim mo As Management.ManagementObject

moSearch = New Management.ManagementObjectSearcher("Select * from
Win32_PNPEntity")

moReturn = moSearch.Get

For Each mo In moReturn

Dim strOut As String = String.Format(" {0} - {1} ", mo("Name"),
mo("DeviceID"))

msgbox(strout)

What Hardware ID? Your being too general. Are you referring to your processor's ID perhaps? That's what most (basic) 'HWID finders' use.

You can find and example for a Processor HWID finder here:
