Hi all,

I need a unique identification for a handheld-scanner-device.
I'm thinking that MAC or Processor-ID would be the best, because its not so
easy to change it.
The Device-name is not secure.

But how can I get this information unter compact-FW 1.1 ?

Is there a class in the FW ?

Please help me.
Thank you.

You can use the deviceID, th easies way to get it is by using OpenNETCF
Smart Device Framework 2.2

The SDF 2.2 requires .NETCF 2.0. If you're working with .NETCF 1.0 then you
should use the older SDF version (1.4)

SDF 1.4 comes with full source by the way
 
And you should be able to get the MAC address of an Ethernet/RF adapter via
OpenNETCF.Net.Adapter.MacAddress, which is an array of bytes (should be six
bytes long for an ordinary Ethernet device).

Hi Paul,
Sorry for the late answer:

I can not find a 'OpenNETCF.Net.Adapter.MacAddress' in SDF 1.4.
 
If not, there must have been a change in there somewhere. It's a property,
not a method. Are you sure that a search for MacAddress doesn't find it?

Hi Paul,

Sorry, I have not searched enough. I have found a adapter-class in the soure
of "'OpenNETCF.Net".

But now, I don't know, how I can instantiate this class.
 
You'd normally create an AdapterCollection by calling
Networking.GetAdapters(), scan through the list for the one you want, and
use that one.
