Re: Reading BIOS Information with C#

Thu, 30 Sep 2010 21:52:14 -0700

hi,

// add a reference System.Management.dll
using System.Management;

//this code will display bios name and manufacturer
ObjectQuery objectQuery_BIOS = new ObjectQuery("select * from Win32_BIOS");

ManagementObjectSearcher searcherBIOS = new ManagementObjectSearcher(objectQuery_BIOS);
ManagementObjectCollection valsBIOS = searcherBIOS.Get();

foreach (ManagementObject val in valsBIOS)
{
Console.WriteLine("Name = " + Convert.ToString(val.GetPropertyValue("Name")));
Console.WriteLine("Manufacturer = " + Convert.ToString(val.GetPropertyValue("Manufacture r")));
}
Console.ReadLine();

//......for more properties in Win32_BIOS class check the below link

Windows API : Moving a toolbar horizontaly

Thu, 25 Mar 2010 10:33:16 -0700

Hi,

I am trying to enable gvim application's toolbar moving.

Why ? Because in Gvim you can add icon to the toolbar dynamically.
Problem : when too many icons are added they are not available.

So I wonder if I can do smooth horizontal move of the toolbar into Window GVim application ?

Thank you for all

You cna do this is C# as follows:

a) Start a C# Console Applictaion.
b) Open solution exlorer and add refernce to System.Windows.Forms.
c) Paste the followng code in the Project Editor.

using System;
using System.Globalization;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
InputLanguage myDefaultLanguage =
InputLanguage.DefaultInputLanguage;
Console.WriteLine("Current input language is now: " +
myDefaultLanguage.Culture.EnglishName);
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}

d) Compile the code and run it.

You should be able to see the current input languag selected in the language bar.

Windows Update error -- "pardlg.dll"

Wed, 25 Mar 2009 18:35:13 -0700

When I was using my company laptop in office, suddenly there was a error msg "pardlg.dll could not be found" popped up, then the system was "locked" and went for reboot automatically. After that I found out that some Windows Update automatically began. Finally when it was over and I logged in again, all my unsaved work were gone! Such things never happened to this XP + SP2 book before. Anyone got any idea what this "pardlg.dll" was meant for?

REAL MODE Question

Mon, 12 Jan 2009 14:02:04 -0700

Hi all! I'm writing a driver for XP that reads the extended configuration space registers on the intel GMCH device. This needs to be done as memory-mapped IO so I get the MCH Base address from IO read and it gives a 64bit number. I don't know how to use it since real mode uses a 16bit segment and 16bit offset to point to an address. Anybody have ideas?

Thanks

Yahoo add-on to interface with Windows

Fri, 26 Dec 2008 21:47:50 -0700

Hello everyone I'm looking for some opinions/advice. I have to be awake long hours and I use yahoo messenger to keep in touch with both friends and business contacts, but I hate leaving my monitor on for hours on end when I'm just waiting for someone to sign on.

Is there any way that an addon could be built for Windows/Yahoo, so that if I set my monitor to turn off after a certain amount of time (control panel>power options) and receive a popup from yahoo (a new email, someone signing on, a new message) yahoo could automatically turn it back on?

If it IS possible, would I start on the Yahoo end or the Windows end?

Exception when reading BIOS information

Mon, 22 Dec 2008 03:31:23 -0700

Hello,

i got an Exception when i try to read some BIOS informaiton with WMI using C#.

I have the following code:

public static string GetBIOSBuildName()
{
string name = "";
try
{

ManagementObjectSearcher query = new ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT * FROM Win32_bios");
ManagementObjectCollection qCollection = query.Get();
foreach (ManagementObject mo in qCollection)
{
if (name == null)
{
name = mo["BuildName"].ToString();
}
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
return "error";
}
return name;
}

It looks like i cannot read the BuildNumber and some other information but i can read BuildVersion, Caption and Language.

Do i need some other code for reading BuildNumber etc?

Thank you.

Shell Execution

Thu, 05 Jun 2008 13:28:45 -0700

Hi all,

I am having some issues with my Java program opening a .wmv file remotely (or locally for that matter). I am not having problems with any other sort of file.

Anyway, when the program gets to the point where my Desktop object tries to open the file, I am getting an IOException saying that access is denied to the file. I know that the user has access to the file.

I posted this problem on a Java Forums and they said that it had something to do with the native Windows code, and was not an actual Java issue.

Thanks ahead of the time for the help.

Console C++ to full Windows

Mon, 14 Apr 2008 12:11:54 -0700

Alright heres the situation: I have made a console based calculator and I need to move it all into windows program. The following code is what I have so far in Windows code.

// First Windows Program
// This program is intended to display a Windows XP themed interface
// and use some basic Windows program functions

#define STRICT
#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

int PASCAL WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow) {
using namespace std;
MessageBox(NULL, "Would you like to do some math?", "Calculator",
MB_OK|MB_ICONINFORMATION|MB_SETFOREGROUND);

return 0;
}

This is my calculator code:

// Calculator

// Include files below

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <math.h>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;

//Beginning of calulator

int main()
{
//Mathematical operators' corresponding number
//Done = 5;
//Subtraction = 4;
//Addition = 3;
//Multiplication = 2;
//Division = 1;

//Answer must be initialized to be used

cout << "What basic mathematical operator shall I perform ?" << endl;
cout << "Please answer with: Division(1), Multiplication(2), Addition(3), Subtraction(4)" << endl;
cout << "Square Root(5), Sine(6), Cosine(7), Tangent(8), Exponetial(9) or End Program(10)" << endl;
cout << "Want a operator not seen here? More operators can be added at your request!" << endl;
cin >> answer;

while(answer!=10) // This begins a loop that will only end when answer is equal to 10
{

if (answer == 1) //Division section of the calculator
{
// Long double is the type of variable that can have up to 15 digits
// Again variables must be initialized before using them.
// However because of the braces around this section the variables
// are local and can be initialized/used in other sections again

long double value1;
long double value2;

// This asks for values and then inputs the values into the variables

cout << "Input value to be divided: ";
cin >> value1;
cout << "Input the dividend: ";
cin >> value2;

//Dividing the values and storing the answer to value1

value1 /= value2;

One way is to use JNI to call the NdisGetCurrentProcessorCounts() function. See http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb314462.aspx for more info on that API function.

Need Good Programmer/Hacker Help!

Wed, 10 Oct 2007 18:33:04 -0700

Hello Everyone! I am new to programmersheaven, and also a bit new to programming as well. I am not used to programming because I have spent most of my time learning to code in other ways. That is not the reason I am posting though. First off, you may know of a game that is called RuneScape 2. This game is full of scammers/hackers/crackers ect. I recently got my account stolen, and I have known many other people that have to. With my knowledge in coding, I am hoping to create a website that helps people get their accounts back. I am asking for someone who would be willing to help make / create a simple keylogger or type of trojan keylogger or maybe a backdoor. Also, some help making this file undetectable. I would be truly grateful to anyone that could help, and I'm sure that the people that come to me for help will be grateful as well. Please talk to me on AIM on howdydoody202020 , or on MSN at zsbarson@hotmail.com

Thank you all very much, and enjoy the website!

I am just wondering that the way it is its derived from a political decision to force to have one installation on one PC, installing it on external HD it sounds like to be installed on different boxes with one single license purchased..., by the way I still beleive that there gotta be a way....
