Willy,
Thanks...can I use this same code to get the computers on the local
network also?
Thanks,
Trint
No, obtaining the computers in a network is only possible when there is a
central authority where they are registered like a Domain Controller or the
AD.
Another, less prefered method is to PInvoke NetServerEnum .... like this:
using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.Security;
sealed class Tester
{
[DllImport("Netapi32", CharSet=CharSet.Auto, SetLastError=true),
SuppressUnmanagedCodeSecurityAttribute]
static extern int NetServerEnum(
string ServerNane, // must be null
int dwLevel,
ref IntPtr pBuf,
int dwPrefMaxLen,
out int dwEntriesRead,
out int dwTotalEntries,
int dwServerType,
string domain, // null for login domain
out int dwResumeHandle
);
[DllImport("Netapi32", SetLastError=true),
SuppressUnmanagedCodeSecurityAttribute]
static extern int NetApiBufferFree(
IntPtr pBuf);
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
struct _SERVER_INFO_100
{
internal int sv100_platform_id;
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPWStr)]
internal string sv100_name;
}
static void Main()
{
const int MAX_PREFERRED_LENGTH = -1;
int SV_TYPE_WORKSTATION = 1;
int SV_TYPE_SERVER = 2;
IntPtr buffer = IntPtr.Zero;
IntPtr tmpBuffer = IntPtr.Zero;
int entriesRead = 0;
int totalEntries = 0;
int resHandle = 0;
int sizeofINFO = Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(_SERVER_INFO_100));
try{
int ret = NetServerEnum(null, 100, ref buffer, MAX_PREFERRED_LENGTH,
out entriesRead,
out totalEntries, SV_TYPE_WORKSTATION|SV_TYPE_SERVER, null, out
resHandle);
if (ret == 0)
{
for (int i = 0; i < totalEntries ; i++)
{
tmpBuffer = new IntPtr((int)buffer + (i * sizeofINFO));
_SERVER_INFO_100 svrInfo = (_SERVER_INFO_100)
Marshal.PtrToStructure(tmpBuffer, typeof(_SERVER_INFO_100));
Console.WriteLine(svrInfo.sv100_name);
}
}
}
finally
{
NetApiBufferFree(buffer);
}
}
}
