Getting HDD Serial of C drive.

[Sin Jeong-hun]

Below is the code in Managed C++. It was originally written in C, and
posted somewhere around the Internet (I forgot where I copied this
code), and I changed it into Managed C++. This code returnes the
serial string like "WD-WC1234567" of the hard disk where C drive is
on.

Now, I would like to change this code into C#, but there are so many
API's, structures and macroes. I've searched the Internet for
equivalent C# code but I couldn't find a working one. Is there any
existing C# equivalent code, or do I need to stick to this MC++ code?
Thank you.

That's C++/CLI, not Managed Extensions for C++, and you are much better off
using that for Windows API calls than C#. Not only can you use the C
headers intact, avoiding p/invoke declaration bugs, but it's faster as well.

This article is quite old, but it looks like it has what you want (also
CPUId, MACaddress, etc.)
