I am using C# and working on Visual Studio 2015. I need to get a Connected USB drive's name from it's Serial ID. I tried using WMI Class the query: "SELECT * FROM Win32_LogicalDisk"
ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new
ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT * FROM Win32_LogicalDisk");
foreach (ManagementObject item in searcher.Get())
{
if (item != null && item["VolumeSerialNumber"] != null && item["VolumeName"] != null)
{
if (item["VolumeSerialNumber"].ToString() == "50D76BF4")
{
Console.WriteLine($"{item["VolumeName"]} Is Connected and It's Letter is {item["Name"]}");
}
}
}
However, There VolumeSerialNumber is not ther real Serial ID. It is changed when the disk is formatted.
Ok I figured it out.
I wrote a method that reutrns a hard drive's name and letter from it's real and unchangable id.
You need to refernce System.Management
this is the code:
public static string GetDriveLetterAndLabelFromID(string id)
{
ManagementClass devs = new ManagementClass(@"Win32_Diskdrive");
{
ManagementObjectCollection moc = devs.GetInstances();
foreach (ManagementObject mo in moc)
{
string a = (string)mo["SerialNumber"];
if (a== id)
{
foreach (ManagementObject b in
mo.GetRelated("Win32_DiskPartition"))
{
foreach (ManagementBaseObject c in b.GetRelated("Win32_LogicalDisk"))
{
string result = $"HardDrive Name: {c["VolumeName"].ToString()}\nHardDrive Letter: {c["DeviceID"]}";
return result;
}
}
}
}
}
return null;
}
