Device Unique ID

Device Unique ID

• duck thing

  Andrea,

  We've used the following function successfully on all Symbol Mobile devices and it works:

  Public Function GetDeviceID() As String

  Dim len As Int32 = 256, cb As Int32 = 0

  Dim buffer(256) As Byte

  Dim ret As Int32

  buffer(0) = 0

  buffer(1) = 1

  Try

  ret = KernelIoControl(&H1010054, IntPtr.Zero, 0, buffer, len, cb)

  Catch ex As Exception

  ShowError(ex, "GetDeviceID")

  End Try

  Dim dwPresetIDOffsset As Int32 = BitConverter.ToInt32(buffer, 4)

  Dim dwPlatformIDOffset As Int32 = BitConverter.ToInt32(buffer, &HC)

  Dim dwPlatformIDSize As Int32 = BitConverter.ToInt32(buffer, &H10)

  Dim sb As System.Text.StringBuilder = New System.Text.StringBuilder

  sb.Append(String.Format("{0:X8}-{1:X4}-{2:X4}-{3:X4}-", _

  BitConverter.ToInt32(buffer, dwPresetIDOffsset), _

  BitConverter.ToInt16(buffer, dwPresetIDOffsset + 4), _

  BitConverter.ToInt16(buffer, dwPresetIDOffsset + 6), _

  BitConverter.ToInt16(buffer, dwPresetIDOffsset + 8)))

  For i As Int32 = dwPlatformIDOffset To dwPlatformIDOffset + dwPlatformIDSize - 1

  sb.Append(String.Format("{0:X2}", buffer(i)))

  Next i

  Return sb.ToString

  End Function

  Hope this helps.

  You can not since OEM failed to include unique ID. Please consider using something else for identification purposes.

  Hummm ....

  We tested this on about 20 different handhelds (all from Symbol Technologies) and different models and the id was different everytime. Are you using a consumer-grade device If so, that may have something to do with it. Not sure ....

  Have you tried maybe the SDK from the hardware manufacturer assuming one is available

  Good luck.
