write BatteryLifePerc ent into a string and send it

[Alessandro]

Hi everyone...
I'm a beginner in C#, I'm trying to:

-> check the BatteryLifePerc ent, and put the value into a string;
->check the ACLineStatus to know if the device is connected to
external power,
->if yes add this info into the string;
->send the string via UDP to a server.

i wrote a very simple code to create an UdpClient and send a string to
a Server,
and this introduction to PowerStatus:

using System;
using System.Collecti ons;
using System.Data;
using System.Runtime. InteropServices ;

namespace PowerStatus
{
/// <summary>
/// Summary description for MainBatteryMoni tor
/// </summary>

class MainBatteryMoni tor
{
/// <summary>
/// The main entry point for the application
/// </summary>

public class SYSTEM_POWER_ST ATUS_EX2
{
public byte ACLineStatus;
public byte BatteryFlag;
public byte BatteryLifePerc ent;
public byte Reserved1;
public uint BatteryLifeTime ;
public uint BatteryFullLife Time;
public byte Reserved2;
public byte BackupBatteryFl ag;
public byte BackupBatteryLi fePercent;
public byte Reserved3;
public uint BackupBatteryLi feTime;
public uint BackupBatteryFu llLifeTime;
public uint BatteryVoltage;
public uint BatteryCurrent;
public uint BatteryAverageC urrent;
public uint BatteryAverageI nterval;
public uint BatterymAHourCo nsumed;
public uint BatteryTemperat ure;
public uint BackupBatteryVo ltage;
public byte BatteryChemistr y;
}

public class SYSTEM_POWER_ST ATUS_EX
{
public byte ACLineStatus;
public byte BatteryFlag;
public byte BatteryLifePerc ent;
public byte Reserved1;
public uint BatteryLifeTime ;
public uint BatteryFullLife Time;
public byte Reserved2;
public byte BackupBatteryFl ag;
public byte BackupBatteryLi fePercent;
public byte Reserved3;
public uint BackupBatteryLi feTime;
public uint BackupBatteryFu llLifeTime;
}

[DllImport("core dll")]
private static extern uint
GetSystemPowerS tatusEx(SYSTEM_ POWER_STATUS_EX lpSystemPowerSt atus,
bool fUpdate);

[DllImport("core dll")]
private static extern uint
GetSystemPowerS tatusEx2(SYSTEM _POWER_STATUS_E X2 lpSystemPowerSt atus,
uint dwLen, bool fUpdate);

static void Main(string[] args)
{
SYSTEM_POWER_ST ATUS_EX status = new SYSTEM_POWER_ST ATUS_EX();
SYSTEM_POWER_ST ATUS_EX2 status2 = new SYSTEM_POWER_ST ATUS_EX2();
..... ??? ...
I'm getting trouble to check those values about PowerStatus, and
putting them into a string...

Could anyone help me??
Thanks a lot!!!

There are several free power meter components, I use the one from
www.componentscience.net in the ElementsEx library.
