USBPhysic C# example (source code sample)

Posted on : 09-02-2010 | By : rlByte Team | In : USBPhysic, rlByte News

2

 In order to get the usb storage device (external portable Hard Drives, flash/pen/key drive etc) serial number and other manufacturer information (NOT volume serial, only the unique one, the one that will not change after a format, physical one) using our USBPhysic library and C# (CSharp) you need to do the following 3 easy steps:

(1) Load USBPhysic library and declare the imported library functions :

 namespace USBPhysic_Example
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        //load the library
        [DllImport("USBPhysic")]
        public static extern int Init(string sUser, string sRegCode);

        [DllImport("USBPhysic")]
        public static extern int GetUSBPhysicInfo(int diskIndex, int InfoType, StringBuilder pHddInfo);

        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

(2) Call the Init function to initialize the user computer usb storage devices

       private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            int USBDisks = Init("your reg code here", "your reg code here");

            if (USBDisks > 0)
            {
                for (int i = 0; i < USBDisks; i++)
                {
                    comboBox1.Items.Add(i);
                }
                comboBox1.SelectedIndex = 0;
            }
        }

(3) Now that you have the total hard drives count you can query for the manufacturer information passing the usb device index to the GetPhysicInfo function:

       private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            const int nChars = 1024;
            StringBuilder Buff = new StringBuilder(nChars);
           
            //0 = Get SerialNumber
            if (GetUSBPhysicInfo(Int32.Parse(comboBox1.Items[comboBox1.SelectedIndex].ToString()), 0, Buff) > 0)
                textBox1.Text = Buff.ToString();
            else
                textBox1.Text = "n/a";

            //1 = Get product name
            if (GetUSBPhysicInfo(Int32.Parse(comboBox1.Items[comboBox1.SelectedIndex].ToString()), 1, Buff) > 0)
                textBox2.Text = Buff.ToString();
            else
                textBox2.Text = "n/a";

            //2 = Get USB Manufacturer
            if (GetUSBPhysicInfo(Int32.Parse(comboBox1.Items[comboBox1.SelectedIndex].ToString()), 2, Buff) > 0)
                textBox3.Text = Buff.ToString();
            else
                textBox3.Text = "n/a";

            //3 = Get drive letter mapped on Windows
            if (GetUSBPhysicInfo(Int32.Parse(comboBox1.Items[comboBox1.SelectedIndex].ToString()), 3, Buff) > 0)
                textBox4.Text = Buff.ToString();
            else
                textBox4.Text = "n/a";
           
        }

USBPhysic (DLL Component) v1.0.0 Launched

Posted on : 28-01-2010 | By : rlByte Team | In : USBPhysic, rlByte News

0

USBPhysic is a stand-alone component ( 32/64-bit Windows dynamic-link library – DLL ) that can be used to extract the physical vendor information from almost any USB (Universal Serial Bus) storage device. With USBPhysic you can get the manufacturer serial number, manufacturer name and so on, of the external portable Hard Drives, flash/pen/key drive or any other kind of USB Storage Device.

Why should I need the physical USB storage info ?

As you know some of the physical information, actually only the serial number, is a unique number/string per device and this offers you a chance to programmatically identify the actual device. Let’s say you want a way to lock your software to a USB storage device (a small flash pen), or distribute your software only with a USB stick, a fast and reliable way to do that is by generating a serial number based on that USB device serial (the hardware serial number that can not be changed, even after a full format). The physical serial number is not the same as the volume serial number, it will not change after a format, and there is no way to change it unless you change the actual device.

demo

Requirements

- USBPhysic is a stand-alone component, does not require any other files to work.

- It uses the drivers on Win32/64 platforms so there are no special library/driver requirements.

- It can be used in any programming/scripting language that can make WINAPI calls like: Delphi, C++Builder, C#, Visual C++, Visual Basic, Visual Basic.NET, VBA, PowerBuilder, Visual Foxpro, Clarion and so on.

- USB device serial numbers are optional and it depends on the hardware manufacturer if they are implemented or not.

- It requires administrator rights on VISTA/Windows 7 to successfully access the USB devices
