[C#]How to access System.Machine object? - Overclock.net

Licht · 05-05-08

I tried directly accessing it but it says it doesn't exist in my namespace. Not sure what to do about this.

Licht, not sure if you added the System.Machine reference to your project, but what you need to do is from the solution explorer, select the project. Then on the project menu choose "Add Reference". From there you should be able to select the .NET Components and then select System.Machine.

Let me know how that works out for you... i'll try it on one of my dev boxes and make sure the above is correct... just speaking from memory atm.

I am not aware of C# has System.Machine namespace but the System.Management namespace should have all functionalities to retrieve all information from the local machine.

I can't find it in .Net 3.5 (latest.)

I'm more looking for CPU name and other information along those lines.

Do you have to specifically use System.Machine? I'm not at home at the moment, but this looks promising:

I like how much info is there that i can access! Even voltage... Thank you, thank you! I'll definitely see about using this. (Busy at the moment though.)

BTW, forgot to add, the System.Machine namespace is in the SDK for the windows sidebar.

Also very good information, that SDK may be useful in the future.

The System.Management has it all - software as well as hardware information.

ManagementObjectSearcher Srch1 = new ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT * FROM Win32_BIOS");
foreach (ManagementObject mobj in Srch1.Get())
{
Console.WriteLine(Srch1.ToString());
}

Time to revive an old thread.

Your code throws this.

Code:

Error    1    The type or namespace name 'ManagementObjectSearcher' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)    C:UsersLichtDocumentsDoubleMarkDoubleMarkForm1.cs    18    9    DoubleMark
