I've desperately scoured the internet for code on obtaining the MAC Addresss of a client, and the code I have found (2 functions below) works well for a Windows box, but
not for a MAC client.
Does anyone know of how I can get MAC address of a OSX or MAC client with Silverlight?
Code:Declare Function SendARP Lib "iphlpapi.dll" (ByVal DestIP As UInt32, ByVal SrcIP As UInt32, ByVal pMacAddr As Byte(), ByRef PhyAddrLen As Integer) As Integer Public Shared Function GetMAC(ByVal IPAddress As String) As String Dim addr As Net.IPAddress = Net.IPAddress.Parse(IPAddress) Dim mac() As Byte = New Byte(6) {} Dim len As Integer = mac.Length SendARP(CUInt(addr.Address), 0, mac, len) Dim macAddress As String = BitConverter.ToString(mac, 0, len) Return macAddress.Replace("-", "") End Function Public Shared Function GetMac() As String Dim myResult As String = "" Try Using wmiLocator = Runtime.InteropServices.Automation.AutomationFactory.CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator") wmiLocator.Security_.ImpersonationLevel = 3 wmiLocator.Security_.AuthenticationLevel = 4 Dim wmiService = wmiLocator.ConnectServer(".", "root\cimv2") Dim wmiQuery = "SELECT MACAddress FROM Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration where IPEnabled=true" Dim queryResults = wmiService.ExecQuery(wmiQuery) For Each o As Object In queryResults myResult = o.MACAddress.ToString.Replace(":", "") Exit For Next End Using Catch ex As Exception End Try Return myResult End Function
