Hello All, i need your help to convert code below from vb.net to C#? I appreciate your help in advance..

Public Function GetBiosSerialNumber() As String

Dim OutputString As String = String.Empty

Using Process As New Process

AddHandler Process.OutputDataReceived, Sub(sender As Object, e As DataReceivedEventArgs)

OutputString = OutputString & e.Data & vbCrLf

End Sub

With Process.StartInfo

.FileName = "cmd"

.UseShellExecute = False

.CreateNoWindow = True

.RedirectStandardInput = True

.RedirectStandardOutput = True

.RedirectStandardError = True

End With

With Process

.Start()

.BeginOutputReadLine()

End With

Using InputStream As System.IO.StreamWriter = Process.StandardInput

With InputStream

.AutoFlush = True

.Write("wmic bios get serialnumber" & vbCrLf)

End With

End Using

Application.DoEvents()

Loop Until Process.HasExited

End Using

Return Replace(OutputString.Split(CChar(vbCrLf)).ToList(6).Substring(1), " ", "")

End Function

hi,

you can use this site to convert vb to c#
http://www.developerfusion.com/tools/convert/vb-to-csharp/

after converting your code to C#

public string GetBiosSerialNumber()
{
    string OutputString = string.Empty;
    using (Process Process = new Process()) {
        Process.OutputDataReceived += (object sender, DataReceivedEventArgs e) => { OutputString = OutputString + e.Data + Constants.vbCrLf; };
        var _with1 = Process.StartInfo;
        _with1.FileName = "cmd";
        _with1.UseShellExecute = false;
        _with1.CreateNoWindow = true;
        _with1.RedirectStandardInput = true;
        _with1.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
        _with1.RedirectStandardError = true;
        var _with2 = Process;
        _with2.Start();
        _with2.BeginOutputReadLine();
        using (System.IO.StreamWriter InputStream = Process.StandardInput) {
            var _with3 = InputStream;
            _with3.AutoFlush = true;
            _with3.Write("wmic bios get serialnumber" + Constants.vbCrLf);
        }
        do {
            Application.DoEvents();
        } while (!(Process.HasExited));
    }
    return Strings.Replace(OutputString.Split(Convert.ToChar(Constants.vbCrLf)).ToList(6).Substring(1), " ", "");
}

Try this (manual translation):

public string GetBiosSerialNumber()
{
string OutputString = String.Empty;
using (Process process = new Process())
{
process.OutputDataReceived += (object sender, DataReceivedEventArgs e) =>
{
OutputString += e.Data + "\r\n";
};
process.StartInfo.FileName = "cmd";
process.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
process.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
process.StartInfo.RedirectStandardInput = true;
process.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
process.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = true;

process.Start();
process.BeginOutputReadLine();
using (System.IO.StreamWriter InputStream = process.StandardInput)
{
InputStream.AutoFlush = true;
InputStream.Write("wmic bios get serialnumber" + "\r\n");
}
do
{
Application.DoEvents();
}
while (!process.HasExited);
}
return OutputString.Split('\r').ToList()[6].Substring(1).Replace(" ", "");
}
