SetupDiEnumDriverInfo always return with Error 259 (No more Data available)

Question

I am trying to access information about drivers associated with devices in C# utilizing the win32 APIs.

I have managed to enable/disable devices (so the handles I am retrieving seem OK), however I have no luck when trying to call SetupDiEnumDriverInfo.

This is the code I am using:

private List<String> ListCompatibleDrivers(IntPtr hDevInfo, SP_DEVINFO_DATA devInfoData)
{
   List<String> result = new List<String>();
   try
   {
      SP_DRVINFO_DATA drvInfo = new SP_DRVINFO_DATA();

      for (int i = 0; SetupDiEnumDriverInfo(hDevInfo, devInfoData, SPDIT_CLASSDRIVER, i, drvInfo); i++)
      {
         result.Add(drvInfo.Description);
      }

      if (result.Count < 1)
      {
         result.Add(Marshal.GetLastWin32Error().ToString());
      }

      return result;
   }
   catch
   {
      throw;
   }
}

Where the parameters can be assumed to be okay (as I said, other methods from the setup API use them successfully).

These are the struct and the DllImport which might be corrupt:

[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
public class SP_DRVINFO_DATA 
{
   public Int32     cbSize;
   public Int32     driverType;
   public UIntPtr    reserved;
   [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValTStr, SizeConst=256)]
   public String    description;
   [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValTStr, SizeConst=256)]
   public String    mfgName;
   [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValTStr, SizeConst=256)]
   public String    providerName;
   public FILETIME   driverDate;
   public Int64  driverVersion;
};

[DllImport("setupapi.dll", SetLastError = true)]
public static extern bool SetupDiEnumDriverInfo(IntPtr lpInfoSet, SP_DEVINFO_DATA deviceInfoData, UInt32 driverType, Int32 memberIndex, SP_DRVINFO_DATA driverInfoData);

The API call returns with false immediately, the Marshal.GetLastWin32Error().ToString() returns 259, which is ERROR_NO_MORE_ITEMS.

I just don't get it, and my hopes are high I am just making some stupid mistake that I am not able to see because I have read hardly anything but msdn lately, and it gets incredibly tiring...

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks a lot!

Have you tried setting the `charset=CharSet.Unicode` flag on the `DllImport`? — Mgetz, Jun 27 '13 at 13:40
I tried `Auto`, `Ansi` and `Unicode`, none of which solved my problem. Thanks for the input though! — Janis F, Jun 27 '13 at 13:47
You need to set cbSize to the size of the SP_DRVINFO_DATA struct. — Luke, Jun 27 '13 at 14:00
Good catch! I adjusted that! But still, this does not solve the problem. Thanks a lot, though! — Janis F, Jun 27 '13 at 14:04

Well off the top I can tell you you don't match the function signature which should be:

[DllImport("setupapi.dll", SetLastError = true, charset=Charset.Unicode)]
[return:MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Bool)]
private static extern bool SetupDiEnumDriverInfo(
       [In] IntPtr lpInfoSet,
       [In, Optional] SP_DEVINFO_DATA deviceInfoData,
       [In] UInt32 driverType,
       [In] Int32 memberIndex,
       [Out] out SP_DRVINFO_DATA driverInfoData);

That out is important as it specifies that it needs to pull back out the data from the PInvoke.

Thanks, that's certainly one thing that's faulty in my code! However, it did not solve my problem. Thank you for the effort, though! – Janis F Jun 27 '13 at 14:00
is it possible that the enumeration is empty? Have you tried a small unmanaged console app to test? – Mgetz Jun 27 '13 at 14:06
I test against the DevCon tool-- I believe they use the same API, and I know that for the device I am testing, there is definitely more than one driver instance available. – Janis F Jun 27 '13 at 14:12
It also appears your structure is wrong, I've updated my answer based on MSDN – Mgetz Jun 27 '13 at 14:18
I believe you are mixing up SP_DEVINFO_DATA and SP_D**R**VINFO_DATA – Janis F Jun 27 '13 at 14:20
Yes, but I am passing in a SP_DEVINFO_DATA (which I use successfully for enabling/disabling devices). It is the out struct that is a SP_DRVINFO_DATA (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff553287%28v=vs.85%29.aspx). – Janis F Jun 27 '13 at 14:25
Saw that and deleted my comment, very confusing on Microsoft's part – Mgetz Jun 27 '13 at 14:26
Yes, I know :/ Thanks heaps for the effort! – Janis F Jun 27 '13 at 14:27

There are several problems with the struct, the most annoying being that one has to specify pack=4 so the native code will find the correct entry points.
This works:

[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, CharSet = CharSet.Unicode, Pack = 4)]
    public struct SP_DRVINFO_DATA
    {
        public int cbSize;
        public int DriverType;
        public UInt32 Reserved;
        [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValTStr, SizeConst = 256)]
        public string Description;
        [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValTStr, SizeConst = 256)]
        public string MfgName;
        [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValTStr, SizeConst = 256)]
        public string ProviderName;
        public System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComTypes.FILETIME DriverDate;
        public long DriverVersion;
    }

Of course it is a god idea to actually prefix the P/Invokes with Charset=Charset.Unicode, too.

Here are the API and struct definitions that both worked on x64 and x86. I am adding also SetupDiGetDriverInfoDetail, good chance that you'll also need it.

API:

DllImport("setupapi.dll", SetLastError = true, CharSet = CharSet.Unicode)]
       public static extern bool SetupDiGetDriverInfoDetail(
       IntPtr DeviceInfoSet,
       ref SP_DEVINFO_DATA DeviceInfoData,
       ref SP_DRVINFO_DATA DriverInfoData,
       ref SP_DRVINFO_DETAIL_DATA DriverInfoDetailData,
       Int32 DriverInfoDetailDataSize,
       ref Int32 RequiredSize);

[DllImport("setupapi.dll", SetLastError = true, CharSet = CharSet.Unicode)] 
        public static extern bool SetupDiEnumDriverInfo( 
        IntPtr DeviceInfoSet,  
        ref SP_DEVINFO_DATA DeviceInfoData,  
        int DriverType,  
        int MemberIndex,                                          
        ref SP_DRVINFO_DATA DriverInfoData);

structs:

#if !WIN64
 [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, Pack = 2, CharSet = CharSet.Unicode)]
#else  
 [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, Pack = 8, CharSet = CharSet.Unicode)]
#endif
        public struct SP_DRVINFO_DATA 
        { 
            public int cbSize; 
            public uint DriverType; 
            public UIntPtr Reserved; 
            [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValTStr, SizeConst = 256)] 
            public string Description; 
            [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValTStr, SizeConst = 256)] 
            public string MfgName; 
            [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValTStr, SizeConst = 256)] 
            public string ProviderName;
            public System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComTypes.FILETIME DriverDate; 
            public ulong DriverVersion; 
       }


#if !WIN64
 [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, Pack = 2, CharSet = CharSet.Unicode)]
#else  
 [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, Pack = 8, CharSet = CharSet.Unicode)]
#endif
        public struct SP_DRVINFO_DETAIL_DATA
        {
            public Int32 cbSize;
            public System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComTypes.FILETIME InfDate;
            public Int32 CompatIDsOffset;
            public Int32 CompatIDsLength;
            public IntPtr Reserved;
            [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValTStr, SizeConst = 256)]
            public String SectionName;
            [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValTStr, SizeConst = 260)]
            public String InfFileName;
            [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValTStr, SizeConst = 256)]
            public String DrvDescription;
            [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValTStr, SizeConst = 1)]
            public String HardwareID;
        };

SetupDiEnumDriverInfo always return with Error 259 (No more Data available)
