## ✨ Features
- **Operating System Information**: Retrieve details such as OS name, version, and manufacturer.
- **Processor Information**: Get the processor name, manufacturer, and description.
- **Memory Information**: Display memory capacity and speed.
- **Disk Drive Information**: Show disk model, interface type, and media type.
- **Network Adapter Information**: List all network adapters with their name, description, status, and speed.
## 🛠️ Installation
1. **Clone the Repository**:
```sh
git clone https://github.com/fastuptime/Learning_System_Information_with_C_Sharp.git
```
2. **Open the Project**:
- Open the solution file (`.sln`) in Visual Studio.
3. **Restore NuGet Packages**:
- Ensure you have the `System.Management` package installed via the NuGet Package Manager.
- To install manually, use:
```sh
Install-Package System.Management
```
4. **Build and Run**:
- Build the solution and run the application.
## 🎮 Usage
1. **Start the Application**:
- Run the application from Visual Studio.
2. **Get System Information**:
- Click the `Get System Information` button.
- The system information will be displayed in the rich text box.
## 📝 Code Overview
The core functionality is encapsulated in the `Form1` class:
- **Event Handling**: The `button1_Click` method handles the button click event to initiate the system information retrieval.
- **Information Retrieval**: The `ListSystemInfo` method compiles system information using the `GetManagementObject` helper method.
- **Management Objects**: The `GetManagementObject` method uses WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) to query system properties.
### Example of Retrieving Processor Information
```csharp
sb.AppendLine("Processor Information:");
sb.AppendLine(GetManagementObject("Win32_Processor", "Name"));
sb.AppendLine(GetManagementObject("Win32_Processor", "Manufacturer"));
sb.AppendLine(GetManagementObject("Win32_Processor", "Description"));
```
