I need to read the partition table of a USB stick. I am using PInvoke for this. I can create file successfully But how to read the partition table?
Here is the code:
namespace PInvokeWithForms
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
const uint GENERIC_READ = 0x80000000;
const uint OPEN_EXISTING = 3;
IntPtr handle;
[DllImport("kernel32", SetLastError = true)]
static extern unsafe IntPtr CreateFile(
string FileName, // file name
uint DesiredAccess, // access mode
uint ShareMode, // share mode
uint SecurityAttributes, // Security Attributes
uint CreationDisposition, // how to create
uint FlagsAndAttributes, // file attributes
int hTemplateFile // handle to template file
);
[DllImport("kernel32", SetLastError = true)]
static extern unsafe bool ReadFile(
IntPtr hFile, // handle to file
void* pBuffer, // data buffer
int NumberOfBytesToRead, // number of bytes to read
int* pNumberOfBytesRead, // number of bytes read
int Overlapped // overlapped buffer
);
[DllImport("kernel32", SetLastError = true)]
static extern unsafe bool CloseHandle(
IntPtr hObject // handle to object
);
public bool Open(string FileName)
{
// open the existing file for reading
handle = CreateFile(
FileName,
GENERIC_READ,
0,
0,
OPEN_EXISTING,
0,
0);
if (handle != IntPtr.Zero)
return true;
else
return false;
}
public unsafe int Read(byte[] buffer, int index, int count)
{
int n = 0;
fixed (byte* p = buffer)
{
if (!ReadFile(handle, p + index, count, &n, 0))
return 0;
}
return n;
}
public bool Close()
{
// close file handle
return CloseHandle(handle);
}
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string FileName = "\\\\.\\G:";
byte[] buffer = new byte[128];
if (this.Open(FileName))
{
label1.Text = "Starting...\n";
// Assume that an ASCII file is being read
ASCIIEncoding Encoding = new ASCIIEncoding();
int bytesRead;
do
{
bytesRead = this.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
string content = Encoding.GetString(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
label1.Text += content;
}
while (bytesRead > 0);
this.Close();
}
else
{
label1.Text = "Failed to open requested file";
}
}
}
}
