get the hard-drive serial number

[dky1e]

Does anyone know how to retrieve the hard-drive serial number?
I tried System.Management documentation to no help.

Any idea on how can I get at it? Any useful links? I would prefer to implement it in c#, but c++ or vb would also suffice.

Thank you for you help!

Look into .NET & WMI documentation for more details....
I adapted the below code from a sample given in the .NET documentation.

using System;
using System.Management;


class VolumeSerialFinder
{
public static int Main(string[] args)
{
ManagementClass diskClass = new ManagementClass("Win32_LogicalDisk");
ManagementObjectCollection disks = diskClass.GetInstances();
foreach (ManagementObject disk in disks)
{
Console.WriteLine("Disk = " + disk["VolumeSerialNumber"]);
}
Console.ReadLine();
return 0;
}
}
