Hi Dears
I want a code to find and get HDD Serial Number without WMI in Windows XP with Framework 2 or VS2005 (C# Language)
Can anyone help me?

Screwdriver - open case - remove housing - Eyes
I still remember having to write your own code in FORTRAN rather than be a cut and paste merchant being pampered by colour coded Intellisense - ahh proper programming - those were the days

That is very hard to write in C# though

Screwdriver screw = new ScrewDriver();
screw.OpenCase();
screw.RemoveHousing();
screw.Dispose();
Eye eye = God.GiveMeSomeEyePlease();
eye.SuspendLayout();
eye.SeeMyHDDSerialNumber();
eye.isMine = true;
While (true) { Human.isLearnable = true; }

You mean it's not derived from EyeDisposable?

Just kidding 
There's a DLL[^] but why don't you want to use WMI?
While (true) { Human.isLearnable = true; }

So the analogy is bust that case open to check the Serial number?

Did you know the volume serial number changes every time you reformat the drive?

Hello, everyone.
A little help needed )
Is there any posibility to use different font style for different items in checkedlistbox?
For example, if I want to strike item if it's checked?
Can't find how to do that with standart checkedlistbox (
Thanks,
|

I think you'll need to handle the drawing yourself to do that.
You can get the same effect by using a ListView with the View set to List and CheckBoxes to true, then set the Font of any ListViewItems that you need to have different.
[edit] Just had a look, and the CheckedListBox doesn't support DrawItem so it's going to be a little more difficult if you don't want to use a ListView. You'd have to derive your own class from CheckedListBox and override OnDrawItem there.[/edit]

I've tryed to handle drawing, but it draws all control and I need one item (

Hello. I'm working on a remote desktop program and since I couldn't find a way to create a hook for the video, I'm taking screenshots and send them. Needless to say this is very slow. I'm looking for a method to read the video card buffer directly (only the last changes). This way the cpu doesn't have to process a few MB of data few times per second.
Any input would be appreciated.

Let's see. Take a 1024 x 768 x 328 bit color. That's an odd 750KB, updating roughly 60 or more times a second. So we end up with around 45MB of memory that needs to be scanned every second, nevermind any other processing.

Whahahahaha! I didnt even notice! Of course there is only 8 bits in a byte

Well, technically, you did say "odd", and it IS indeed close

Like Leppie said, dumping the whole screen as a buffer and transmitting will take a huge amount of memory. You should look at the following:
There is a pretty well standardised way of doing this with a protocol called remote frame buffer[^]. You should look into this protocol if you are writing a remote desktop program, as it will give a guide of good ways to do things (Even if you decide not to follow the protocol).
An alternative protocol used by MS is the remote desktop protocol[^]
The general area you are talking about is called Virtual network computing[^].
The general idea behind these protocols is to break the screen down into the smallest possible rectangle primitives and transmit them to be drawn on the client. A common way of reducing bandwidth is to only transmit what has changed between each refresh.
Ultra VNC[^] is an open source implementation of the RFB protocol. You can look at the source code for this to see how they are grabbing the screen.

I already know that the algorithm takes a large amount of memory, not to mention CPU. I've read the remote frame buffer documentation and that is why I'm looking for a way to "hook" the program to the video card. The biggest problem is the CPU consumption because the memory can be recycled: let's say 10 times per second I take a screenshot scan it and send only the changes. Still the CPU is at around 25-30% on a single core AMD.
What I want is to get only the changes(the updates) from the video buffer.

Read the ultra vnc source code. They obviously have a way of doing it that doesn't use that much cpu.

How are you accessing the image data? What do you use for screen capture?
