Retrieving dbcc_name string from a DEV_BROADCAST_DEVICEINTERFACE structure

J

Jeffrey B. Holtz

I'm trying to get the Name of the USB device pluged in from the
RegisterDeviceNotification that I've used P/Invoke to marshal. I have
seen a similar posting on the VisualBasic newgroups but I do not know
how to translate the ReDim that occurs there into C#. Or wither this
will actually give me what I'm looking for.
The code I'm posting seems to work although I don't know how to
set the length of the name correctly in the Marshal.PtrToStructure()
call.

Thanks all for any help.
Hopefully this VB->VC translation can help someone out there as well

Not directly a code translation, but another way to achieve the same (or
better) result.
Using System.Management classes, you can install an event listener for USB
device controller events, these events are generated when USB devices are
connected. Note that every USB device consists of at least one or more
devices, for instance a USB disk generates 3 events when connected.

Following is a complete sample, just compile and try it out.

// This code demonstrates how to monitor the UsbControllerDevice for
// the arrival of pnp device creation/operation events
using System;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.Management;
class WMIEvent {
public static void Main() {
USBEvent usbEvnt = new USBEvent();
usbEvnt.Start();
Console.ReadLine(); // block main thread for test purposes
usbEvnt.Stop();
}
}

internal class USBEvent
{
ManagementEventWatcher w= null;

internal void Start()
{
// Bind to local machine
try {
WqlEventQuery q = new WqlEventQuery();
q.EventClassName = "__InstanceOperationEvent";
q.WithinInterval = new TimeSpan(0,0,3);
q.Condition = @"TargetInstance ISA 'Win32_USBControllerDevice' ";
w = new ManagementEventWatcher(q);
w.EventArrived += new EventArrivedEventHandler(this.UsbEventArrived);
w.Start(); // Start listen for events
}
catch(Exception e) {this.Stop();}
}
internal void Stop() {
w.EventArrived -= new EventArrivedEventHandler(this.UsbEventArrived);
w.Stop();
w.Dispose();
}
public void UsbEventArrived(object sender, EventArrivedEventArgs e) {
//Get the Event object and display all it properties
ManagementBaseObject mbo =
(ManagementBaseObject)e.NewEvent["TargetInstance"];
using(ManagementObject o = new
ManagementObject(mbo["Dependent"].ToString()))
{
o.Get();
if (o.Properties.Count == 0)
{
Console.WriteLine("No further device properties, device removed?");
}
foreach(PropertyData prop in o.Properties)
Console.WriteLine("{0} - {1}", prop.Name, prop.Value);
Console.WriteLine("-------------------------------");
}
}
}
