DateTime.Now should do it.
Vuyiswa Maseko,
Spoted in Daniweb-- Sorry to rant. I hate websites. They are just wierd. They don't behave like normal code.

DateTime.Now should do. There is not difference between BIOS and your system's date time. Any time you make changes in your system clock, it updates the BIOS date time as well.
It's not necessary to be so stupid, either, but people manage it. - Christian Graus, 2009 AD

Are you trying to get the system date/time clock or are you trying to get the Timestamp or Verison of the BIOS itself?

this operate excellent for win32 base programms,
but for win64 cant return biosdate. any idea? thanks
using System.Security.Permissions;
using Microsoft.Win32;
private string biosDate()
{
RegistryKey RK = Registry.LocalMachine;
RK = RK.OpenSubKey("HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System\\");
Object Date = RK.GetValue("SystemBiosDate");
return Date.ToString();
}

SystemBiosDate key doesn't exist

My Vista system's registry has such a SystemBiosDate entry, type REG_SZ, value 04/21/08, which for sure isn't the current date, however it could be the date the manufacturer (Dell) assembled and loaded my machine.

Probably manufacturer specific. My Windows 7, nor Server 208 boxes doesn't have it.

I am trying to do some events while the mouse button is down.
Here is what I have
private static bool IsKeyDown = false;
private void button1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) {
IsKeyDown = true;
while (IsKeyDown) {
Winamp.Winamp.VolumeDown();
}
}
private void button1_MouseUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) {
IsKeyDown = false;
}
The problem is when it hits the mouse down event It continues to run the while loop and does not hit the mouse up event.
I don't want to use a timer to do this.
I did see some code that I think will work better in my app but I cant seem to get it to work can some one please help.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1152525/c-winform-looping-event-on-press-button[^]
private bool mouseDown = false;
private void buttonScrollUp_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
mouseDown = true;
new Thread(() => {
while (mouseDown)
{
Invoke(new MethodInvoker(() => [DO_THE_SCROLLING_HERE));
Thread.Sleep([SET_AUTOREPEAT_TIMEOUT_HERE);
}
})
.Start();
}
private void buttonScrollUp_MouseUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
mouseDown = false;
}

Confused. Can this variable be changed ever? Correct me if I am wrong...
|

yes it changes on the mouse down to true. but the mouse up event never fires because the loop has not finished. but it will change in the mouse up event. if the value never changed then I would have to set it to const or read only. A static variable will change. private means this variable is not accessible from another class. when the form is initialized the variable is set to false. When the mouseDown event is fired then the variable is set to true. This is working. the problem lies in the loop. Because it is in the loop the MouseUp event never executes.

This loop will never terminate so your event handler button1_MouseDown will never notify the framework that it is complete. This blocks your application from doing anything else, so you need to separate the functions somehow.
BTW it helps if you put <pre></pre> tags around your code snippet so it is easier to read.

Hi,
this is all wrong.
1. event handlers get executed on the main thread (aka GUI thread), hence MouseUp cannot do anything as long as MouseDown is active.
2. Your while loop will never exit.
3. Your while loop has no delay, so at what rate will VolumeDown be called?
4. Using Thread.Sleep would not be a good approach as that blocks the GUI; using a timer (a Windows.Forms.Timer) is the perfect solution: start the timer on MouseDown, stop it on MouseUp (or better yet have the Tick handler check Control.MouseButtons).
Zap-Man wrote: I don't want to use a timer
why? because you don't understand them? because you don't like a clean and natural solution?

Look I am not looking for Critics. If you cant help then don't bother posting. I understand timers perfectly. My app has a timer which runs a massive about of code. I understand what the program is doing. I am looking for a way around it.

First, the reason your original idea doesn't work is that the event handlers are all on the same thread. The mouseup handler cannot run until mousedown returns, and mousedown doesn't return until mouseup has run, so you're basically deadlocking yourself with only one thread! 
Depending on what you do in those handlers you may be able to do it in another thread instead. But if you want to do anything to the GUI itself, you aren't allowed to do so on any thread but the "gui thread", which is the same thread that is raising the events.
So you have to use another hook... to marshal the call back to the UI thread again!
Here's an example of how to do this. To run it, create a new windows forms application and replace Form1.cs with:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Threading;
namespace WindowsFormsApplication2
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
long n;
MouseButtons buttons;
Label label1;
public Form1()
{
label1 = new Label();
label1.Text = "here";
Controls.Add(label1);
label1.MouseUp += new MouseEventHandler(label1_MouseUp);
label1.MouseDown += new MouseEventHandler(label1_MouseDown);
}
void label1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
buttons = e.Button;
new Thread(run).Start();
}
void label1_MouseUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
buttons = MouseButtons.None;
}
void run()
{
var upd = new Action(update);
while (buttons != MouseButtons.None) label1.Invoke(upd);
}
void update()
{
n = (buttons == MouseButtons.Left ? --n : ++n);
label1.Text = n.ToString();
}
}
}
