What is iSMBIOS?

iSMBIOS is a lightweight implementation that allows us to obtain the SMBIOS information

This library fully implements DMTF Specification 3.2.0 and olders versions

For more information, please see https://www.dmtf.org/standards/smbios

Install via NuGet

NuGet Version

Usage

Call DMI.Instance.Structures for getting all SMBIOS structures availables.

Examples

  1. Gets and prints all SMBIOS availables structures.

    DmiStructureCollection structures = DMI.Instance.Structures;
foreach (DmiStructure structure in structures)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"{(int) structure.Class:D3}-{structure.Class}");
}

  2. Gets a specific SMBIOS structure.

    DmiStructureCollection structures = DMI.Instance.Structures;
DmiStructure bios = structures[SmbiosStructure.Bios];
if (bios != null)
{
    /// structure exist!!!
}

  3. Gets a single property directly.

    DmiStructureCollection structures = DMI.Instance.Structures;
object biosVersion = structures.GetProperty(DmiProperty.Bios.BiosVersion);
if (biosVersion != null)
{
    Console.WriteLine($" BIOS Version > {biosVersion}");
}

string biosVendor = structures.GetProperty<string>(DmiProperty.Bios.Vendor);
Console.WriteLine($" > BIOS Vendor > {biosVendor}");

string processorFamily = structures.GetProperty<string>(DmiProperty.Processor.Family);
Console.WriteLine($" Processor Family > {processorFamily}");

string processorManufacturer = structures.GetProperty<string>(DmiProperty.Processor.ProcessorManufacturer);
Console.WriteLine($" Processor Manufacturer > {processorManufacturer}");

  4. Gets a property in multiple elements directly.

    // Requires that the Slot Information structure exists in your system
DmiStructureCollection structures = DMI.Instance.Structures;
IDictionary<int, object> systemSlots = structures.GetProperties(DmiProperty.SystemSlots.SlotId);
foreach (KeyValuePair<int, object> systemSlot in systemSlots)
{
    int element = systemSlot.Key;
    object property = systemSlot.Value;
    Console.WriteLine($" System Slot ({element}) > {property}");
}

  5. Prints all SMBIOS structures properties

    DmiStructureCollection structures = DMI.Instance.Structures;
foreach (DmiStructure structure in structures)
{
    DmiStructureClass currentClass = structure.Class;

    Console.WriteLine();
    Console.WriteLine($" —————————————————————————————————————————— DMI ({DMI.AccessType}) —");
    Console.WriteLine($" {(int)currentClass:D3}-{currentClass} structure detail");
    Console.WriteLine($" ——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————");
    DmiClassCollection elements = structure.Elements;
    foreach (DmiClass element in elements)
    {
        Hashtable elementProperties = element.Properties;
        foreach (DictionaryEntry property in elementProperties)
        {
            object value = property.Value;

            PropertyKey key = (PropertyKey)property.Key;
            Enum id = key.PropertyId;

            PropertyUnit valueUnit = key.PropertyUnit;
            string unit =
                valueUnit == PropertyUnit.None
                    ? string.Empty
                    : valueUnit.ToString();

            if (value == null)
            {
                Console.WriteLine($"{id} > NULL");
                continue;
            }

            if (value is string)
            {
                Console.WriteLine($"   > {id} > {value} {unit}");
            }
            else if (value is byte)
            {
                Console.WriteLine($"   > {id} > {value}{unit} [{value:X2}h]");
            }
            else if (value is short)
            {
                Console.WriteLine($"   > {id} > {value}{unit} [{value:X4}h]");
            }
            else if (value is ushort)
            {
                 Console.WriteLine($"   > {id} > {value}{unit} [{value:X4}h]");
            }
            else if (value is int)
            {
                Console.WriteLine($"   > {id} > {value} {unit} [{value:X4}h]");
            }
            else if (value is uint)
            {
                Console.WriteLine($"   > {id} > {value} {unit} [{value:X4}h]");
            }
            else if (value is long)
            {
                Console.WriteLine($"   > {id} > {value} {unit} [{value:X8}h]");
            }
            else if (value is ulong)
            {
                Console.WriteLine($"   > {id} > {value} {unit} [{value:X8}h]");
            }
            else if (value.GetType() == typeof(ReadOnlyCollection<byte>))
            {
                Console.WriteLine($"   > {id} > {string.Join(", ", (ReadOnlyCollection<byte>)value)}");
            }
            else if (value.GetType() == typeof(ReadOnlyCollection<string>))
            {
                Console.WriteLine($"   > {id}");
                var collection = (ReadOnlyCollection<string>) value;
                foreach (var entry in collection)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine($"     > {entry} {unit}");
                }
            }
            else
            {
                Console.WriteLine($"   > {id} > {value} {unit}");
            }
        }
    }
}

How can I send feedback!!!

If you have found iSMBIOS useful at work or in a personal project, I would love to hear about it. If you have decided not to use iSMBIOS, please send me and email stating why this is so. I will use this feedback to improve iSMBIOS in future releases.
