How To Get The Serial Number Of Hard Drive By C#

This blog will help you to get the hard disk serial number, using C#.

To get the serial number of the hard disk, we need to use some C# classes.

ManagementObjectSearcher Class  is the class which initializes the new instance of ManagementObjectSearcher class. Basically, it is used to retrieve the management system of the system.

 

Let's Start.

 

Step 1: Creat a Project =>Right click on references, then Add System.Management, System.Management.Instrument.

Add a button and three labels to it.

 

Step 2 : Add the Namespaces to the project.

C# Code

using System.Management;
using System.IO;
using System.Collections;

Step 3: Declare an ArrayList.

ArrayList hardDriveDetails = new ArrayList();

Step 4: In the buttonClick event, write the following code. 

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
           ManagementObjectSearcher moSearcher = new
  ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT * FROM Win32_DiskDrive");

           foreach (ManagementObject wmi_HD in moSearcher.Get())
           {
               HardDrive hd = new HardDrive();  // User Defined Class
               hd.Model = wmi_HD["Model"].ToString();  //Model Number
               hd.Type = wmi_HD["InterfaceType"].ToString();  //Interface Type
               hd.SerialNo= wmi_HD["SerialNumber"].ToString();  Serial Number
               hardDriveDetails.Add(hd);
               label1.Text ="Model : "+ hd.Model ;
               label2.Text = " Type : " + hd.Type;
               label3.Text = " Serial Number : " + hd.SerialNo;
           }

       }

Step 5: Add a user-defined class HardDrive having the following properties.

class HardDrive
    {
        private string model = null;
        private string type = null;
        private string serialNo = null;
        public string Model
        {
            get { return model; }
            set { model = value; }
        }
        public string Type
        {
            get { return type; }
            set { type = value; }
        }
        public string SerialNo
        {
            get { return serialNo; }
            set { serialNo = value; }
        }
    }

Step 6: Now, run the code.
