Yes. Both are equally good to identify a system. No two motherboards or CPU will have the same serial number / ID. Use whichever is easier to you. You might want to use them both together as well.

In addition to Rajesh's reply, you may also consider using the serial number of the hard drive too.

No. you can use the Win32 WMI classes to get the hardware information. May be this[^] article can help you.

Have a look at this article: Three ways to retrieve processor information[^]
And then, I strongly recommend you to use Google. It works for me all the time. Almost.

In VC++, timer(OnTimer()) runs on which task/thread?
Is it GUI or something else?
Thanks,

Can you more explain what do you want to know,excatly?

A timer (callback) runs in the thread that called SetTimer.
OnTimer is a CWnd method, therefore it runs in the context of a GUI thread.

Here is the code i tried
IPropertySetStorage *pPropSetStg = NULL;
IPropertyStorage *pPropStg = NULL;
HRESULT hr;
hr = ::StgOpenStorageEx(wcFilename, STGM_READ | STGM_SHARE_EXCLUSIVE, STGFMT_FILE,
0, NULL, 0, IID_IPropertySetStorage, (void**)&pPropSetStg);
hr return S_KO
hr = pPropSetStg->Open(FMTID_SummaryInformation,
STGM_READ | STGM_SHARE_EXCLUSIVE, &pPropStg);
hr returns as 0x80030002 %1 could not be found.

It seems that you got this error:
"STG_E_FILENOTFOUND A property set of the indicated name does not exist"
are you sure you have that object?

Hi,
I am looking for the way to write 1) a Windows Service in VC6 and 2) a method to monitor network availablility in VC6.
I have actually done a service that will monitor the network availablility in VS2005 but due to some situation, I am not allowed to have .Net framework 2.0 on the system that I want to install this service.
I am looking for the equivalent of
using System.Net.NetworkInformation;
NetworkChange.NetworkAvailabilityChanged += OnAvaiabilityChanged;
in VC6 and also maybe an article of how to write a Windows Service in VC6.
Any help will be appreciated.

Replying to my own message... I have found the method of achieving both items that I was looking for.
I just want to close this message in case anyone is also looking for anything like this.
1) For writing a Windows Service in VC6, I have found a great article on CodeProject http://www.codeproject.com/KB/system/serviceskeleton.aspx[^]">
2) For this, it is more tricky. I have found a service called Network Location Awareness and by doing a search on the internet for this, you will find some very useful information or you can have a look at this article http://www.codeproject.com/KB/IP/NLA.aspx[^]">
Hope this information is useful and thanks to anyone that have given a thought to my questions.
Cheers

Are you talking about GetTickCount()?

i just would like to know how to calculate time from start to end processing, which function i can use it? when i used start clock() and end clock(), and CLOCK_PER_SEC, after compiling, output showed didn't declare CLOCK_PER_SEC.
but the time is very small after calculate, how to calculate? any road is ok for me. thanks

Hi,
Please refer below pseudocode,
long ltime = GetTickCount();
CallYourTimeTakingFunction();
TRACE("Time took = %li\n", GetTickCount() - ltime);
Or,
CTime startTime = CTime::GetCurrentTime();
CallYourTimeTakingFunction();
CTime endTime = CTime::GetCurrentTime();
CTimeSpan elapsedTime = endTime - startTime;
Hope this will server your purpose.
Regards,
Paresh.

#include <time.h>
clock_t ckStart,ckEnd,duration =0.0;
char buff[1000];
ckStart=clock();
....
.....
ckEnd=clock();
float fDuration=(float)(ckEnd-ckStart)/CLOCK_PER_SEC;
sprintf(buff,"speed=%d ms",fAveduration);
Message Box (buff,"Time");
what is wrong with these code?
output showed no declare CLOCK_PER_SEC.
what is problem. thanks

Should be,
float fDuration=(float)(ckEnd-ckStart)/CLOCKS_PER_SEC;
Change CLOCK_PER_SEC to CLOCK<big>S</big>_PER_SEC.

Paresh.

What about fc.exe?

You can easily capture its output.
