Computer System Information

[seanlivo]

Hi all,

I want to make a program that gets a users system configuration (eg. Ram, CPU, mother board Chipset etc..) and sends it thought to a asp page.

Now I know how to pass information onto a asp page from a VB app but how do I read system information from a VB app???

I found this program HWiNFO32 which is the sort of information I want to get from the hardware, but I don't know how they do it.

One API I know that is
GetSystemInfo ,

There is a Microsoft SysInfo control in VB but I don't have detail about this control,

Anybody know more about this control

Search the web (I am sure it would be listed in Planet Source Code) for a DLL called KIRA. Its excellent for low-level access to system info.

u can also use moo.dll, or even get most info from the windows register.

check the example:

System information can be grabbed using the WMI reference in vb. www.mvps.org has a load of samples to do with this, try taking a look at:
