How to retrieve v51 serial number? (coding)

[billsh]

This is probably answered (Yea or Nea) somewhere in the forums, so if you can just point me there, that would be great.

Is there a source code way to retrieve a unique number/serial number from a Dell AXIM v50+, in the same way as you can do so from IPAQs?

Is this what you are looking for?

Hi Susan:

Actually -- I am looking for the VC++/etc code to retrieve the serial number or unique ID (if this is also available on the Dell platform; as it has been on the IPAQ for some years.)

UUID would be ok as well.

We have recently started to use Dells over IPAQs for customer solutions -- and how to pull a Dell serial number is a remaining question that we need to resolve.

Thanks
~Bill

Start>System Tab>System Information. UUID is at very bottom.

Seems like nobody actually reads threads around here. :S

This cas covered for me in the manual that came with my X51V.

This is probably what you're looking for: OEMIoControl
Look at IOCTL_HAL_GET_UUID.

This is not exactly the source code way that billsh asked for, is it ?

I understand that he wants an automatically mean to keep track of many x50's,
but IMBW :p

This is along the lines of what we are at least asking -- we're taking a look at it now.

Thank you for the response (and I sent you a PM as well).

Thanks for your response -- and yes -- the goal is to be able to track 100's of Dells. We used to use IPAQs for everything, but are trying out Dells now on a large project -- and did not have the IPAQ internal unique ID to work with.
