Reading BIOS Information with C#

alexschunk

Hello,

i need to read some BIOS Information with C#.

I have done some WMI programming with C# before but cannot find any information on how to read BIOS information.

I want to use the Win32_BIOS class.

Can anyone show me how to do this?

Thank you.

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("Manufacturer")));
}
Console.ReadLine();

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

hope this code helps you.
