C# system information

[hethra101]

Hi, I'm trying to make a program in visual c# that displays computer information like graphics card model, graphics ram, system ram, cpu model, etc.

Basically I have this, but it doesn't seem to work. Any help would be appreciated. If any other easier methods available please leave a comment telling me of such thanks:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Management;
using System.Management.Instrumentation;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
  public partial class Form1 : Form
  {
    public Form1()
    {
      InitializeComponent();
    }

  private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
    ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = 
    new ManagementObjectSearcher("Select Name from Win32_CDROMDrive");
    ManagementObjectSearcher searcher2 =
    new ManagementObjectSearcher("Select Model from Win32_BaseBoard");
    foreach(ManagementObject cdrom in searcher.Get())
    foreach (ManagementObject model in searcher2.Get())
    {
      textBox1.Text = ("Name: " + cdrom.GetPropertyValue("Name").ToString());
      textBox2.Text = ("Name: " + model.GetPropertyValue("Model").ToString());
    }
  }
 }
}

I am very new to C# programming but have basic knowledge of visual basic if I can do this using that.

Describe what's not working? Are you seeing only the last property value? That is because you're overwriting the text in the two textboxes.

      textBox1.Text = ("Name: " + cdrom.GetPropertyValue("Name").ToString());
      textBox2.Text = ("Name: " + model.GetPropertyValue("Model").ToString());

Maybe you mean:

      textBox1.Text += ("Name: " + cdrom.GetPropertyValue("Name").ToString());
      textBox2.Text += ("Name: " + model.GetPropertyValue("Model").ToString());

And please use code tags.
