Windows API to get Motherboard Model and Name - motherboard

Question

I am writing an application on windows to get the information of Motherboard. The information I want to collect is
Motherboard Manufacturer (e.g. Dell or Gigabyte)
Motherboard Model (e.g. T3600 or GA-Z77)
Can anyone please tell me which API I should use to get this information?

Answer 1

this is the first answer as a thank u for this site
frist add a System.Management refrence to your project
and try this
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Management;
namespace ConsoleApplication2
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// First we create the ManagementObjectSearcher that
// will hold the query used.
// The class Win32_BaseBoard (you can say table)
// contains the Motherboard information.
// We are querying about the properties (columns)
// Product and SerialNumber.
// You can replace these properties by
// an asterisk (*) to get all properties (columns).
ManagementObjectSearcher searcher =
new ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT Product, SerialNumber FROM Win32_BaseBoard");
// Executing the query...
// Because the machine has a single Motherborad,
// then a single object (row) returned.
ManagementObjectCollection information = searcher.Get();
foreach (ManagementObject obj in information)
{
// Retrieving the properties (columns)
// Writing column name then its value
foreach (PropertyData data in obj.Properties)
Console.WriteLine("{0} = {1}", data.Name, data.Value);
Console.WriteLine();
}
// For typical use of disposable objects
// enclose it in a using statement instead.
searcher.Dispose();
Console.Read();
}
}
}
hope that will help
