Documentation

The package contains in the namespace PLP_SystemInfo one class for reading system information, SystemInfo.cs and 3 more namespaces: Collections, ComponentInfo and Models, The namespaces Collections and Models are largely ignored for use. They only provide the corresponding classes for the outputs.

PLP_SystemInfo.SystemInfo

The class SystemInfo contains mainly methods to read general system values. Each method has a return value which simplifies the usage.

using PLP_SystemInfo;

string userName = SystemInfo.UserName;
//Retruns the username of the current user

string machineName = SystemInfo.MachineName;
//Retruns the name of the machine.

bool b = SystemInfo.IsDarkModeEnabled;
// Returns a bool value that reflects whether the Windows darkmode is enabled

string s = SystemInfo.GetWindowsAccentColor();
// Returns the Windows accent color as HEX value.

Color c = SystemInfo.GetAccentColor();
// Returns the Windows accent color as a Color value.

PLP_SystemInfo.ComponentInfo.*

The namespace PLP_SystemInfo.ComponentInfo contains different classes to read out the most important PC components.

BoardInfo.cs

using PLP_SystemInfo.ComponentInfo;
using PLP_SystemInfo.Models;

Board b = BoardInfo.GetMotherboard();
// Returns an object of type **Board** with manufacturer and model.

BIOS bios = BoardInfo.GetBIOSInfo();
// Returns an object of type **BIOS** with manufacturer and version.

OSInfo.cs

using PLP_SystemInfo.ComponentInfo;

string os = OSInfo.GetOperatingSystemInfo();
// Returns a string with OS name and architecture.

ProcessorInfo.cs

using PLP_SystemInfo.ComponentInfo;
using PLP_SystemInfo.Collections;

ProcessorCollection processors = ProcessorInfo.GetProcessors();
// Returns a collection of type **Processor** containing information such as name, architecture, cores, threads, cache and clock speed.

RamInfo.cs

using PLP_SystemInfo.ComponentInfo;
using PLP_SystemInfo.Collections;

RamCollection ram = RamInfo.GetRamInfo();
// Returns a collection of type **RAM** containing information for each installed ram module such as manufacturer, frequency, voltage and capacity.

long totalRam = RamInfo.GetInstalledRAMSize();
// Returns a long value of the installed GB of RAM.

double d1 = RamInfo.GetTotalUsableRam();
// Returns the total useable ram in GB.

double d2 = RamInfo.GetHardwareReservedRam();
// Returns the harware reserved ram in MB.

double d3 = RamInfo.GetRamInUse();
// Returns the used ram in GB.

double  d4 = RamInfo.GetAvailableRam();
// Returns the available ram.

GraphicsInfo.cs

using PLP_SystemInfo.ComponentInfo;
using PLP_SystemInfo.Collections;

GraphicsCollection graphics = GraphicsInfo.GetGraphicscardInfo();
// Returns a collection of type **GraphicsCard** containing information such as name and driver version.

To get the information from the collections, simply use a foreach loop, e.g:

foreach (var item in <yourCollection>)
{
  Console.WriteLine(item.<Property>);
}
