hello, I am taking an OS course and we had a hometask to describe in details the location and contents of all device list in RAM. Can anyone help m solve this.I've made a google search but I didn't find any thing.

This will get you started, but you'll probably need to narrow it down to device type.

using System;
using System.Management; //ALSO add this as a DLL reference
//
namespace DW_404430
{
   class Program
   {
      static void Main(string[] args)
      {
         string strScope = @"\\.\root\cimv2";
         string strQuery = "Select * FROM Win32_SystemDevices";
         using (ManagementObjectSearcher mos = new ManagementObjectSearcher(strScope, strQuery))
         {
            foreach (ManagementBaseObject mbo in mos.Get())
            {  //ManagementObjectCollection
               //Console.WriteLine(mbo.GetPropertyValue("GroupComponent").ToString());
               Console.WriteLine(mbo.GetPropertyValue("PartComponent").ToString());
            }
         }
      }
   }
}

Well, that really depends on what you mean "in RAM".
Do you want to know:
1) the specific memory location where device IDs are stored?
2) something else?

Also, when you say "without using a program", does that also mean without using:
1) Device Manager (Control Panel ->System -> Hardware - Device Manager)?
2) Debug?
3) Something you write?

And when you say "any computer system", do you mean
1) Any MS Windows computer system?
2) All operating systems and processors?
