I am having trouble figuring out how to use ASP.NET to get Hardware ID and store it in a SQL database.

Any Information detailed and exact enough to satisfy this question would be nice.

Well I am glad you asked. I would like to get the HWID of a persons Computer.
Then I would like to have it stored inside of a Database such as Microsoft Compact Database 3.5 or 4.0 which ever is easier to use. Now I would like to collect the HWID by using ASP.net This will all be done in Visual Studio. If you have any information on this let me know.
Thanks

I know someone would post that link ,but that link helps me very little as I know how to do what is described there. However it is very limited what that link shows. Could you possibly throw some code my way some sort of generic sample?
Thanks.

Solution 2

Web applications don't have access to client computers, so you cannot get anything like that. This is done for security reasons. Could you trust the Web is some unknown Web applications could get into your client system?

Well I know what you are saying ,but yes there are websites that can get into the systems information. Although I have made a program that gets the HWID from a persons Computer. I am confused at that point how to setup my program to connect to a websites Database..... I was pointing towards ASP.net due to my liking of the .Net Framework. :)
I would like something involving a datetime stamp from the start up of my program to be saved than thrown to a website then check until trial or license period is over. Then the program will stop. Also the application will not run without internet connection.

Well, some use DirectX, which is unsafe and I don't want to discuss it. Maybe it can be acceptable for a tool to support hardware on manufacturer's site (just one example), but I would highly prefer it would be something different. It has nothing to do with ASP.NET and any other server-side technology.

To work with databases, use ADO.NET...
